In the words of Professor Farnsworth, Good News Everybody!

Teleskop-Service has started a new line of refractors named TS- CF Apo
They are all triplets using FPL-55 and the purchaser gets the savings from what I can see doing price comparison.
Top grade FPL-55 is about 14% cheaper to manufacture than top grade FPL-53

More quality options is always good for the customer. "CF" is misleading though, in US market is stands for carbon fiber body.

I suspect from the marketing the CF in this case means Colour Free.

Nice. Looks like they have a few eyepieces on sale too.

I think you may well be right. I initially misread it and thought that they were from CFF Telescopes which TS also sells.

The CF 102 is tempting me. I've seen owners reviews of the 90, 102, & 130 and all have been good
