One-off fluorite triplet apo, based on the 175 OTA. Fluorite blank element was produced at the Zeiss Jena factory at the time of the fall of the Berlin wall, and later sent to Astro-Physics. Roland Christen designed and built an apochromatic lens, based on this blank as the middle element, and used the mechanics of the 175 to build an OTA in 2017.
