The webpage linked here (in a site run by APM it seems) features the model:
"APM ED Apo 15x50 Magnesium Series Binoculars".
The specs. give FOV as 90 m at 1000 m, which works out to 5.15 deg. In the 15x56 roof-prism models by Zeiss, Swaro., and Meopta it is 4.6, 4.5, 4.2 deg. respectively.
It is priced there at € 416 'excluding tax', exactly the same as for the APM 10x50 and 12x50.
The page has the notice: "Availability acc. to manufacturer : 30 July 2023". But this same text is seen also in the pages for the 10x50 and 16x70, for example, which have been around for some time, so that by itself does not indicate this is a new model not yet retailed.
Searching on the internet for "APM 15x50", using Google search, does not bring up anything else with that text [*but see below], to me, except a thread in the Cloudy Nights forum in Nov. 2021 by Markus Ludes himself, founder of APM, asking for suggestions for new model/s.
Could someone please say: how does one get to any reviews or comments by users of this model, if there are such by now? Thanks.
Adding in edit. [*]I now see also the site of Teleskop-Express.
