Hi,

What's the point of adding all this extra glass in front of the Mark V and ending up with a +2X bino system when you can use the excellent TeleVue 2X bino right off of the shelf. I've use both the Mark V and the TeleVue bino's and find them both to be excellent. I doubt that the Mark V will be as exceptional optically after adding more glass in front of it. The TeleVue 2X bino works on my f.4.2 Dob very well and is also a smaller and lighter-weight bino than the Baader and Denkmeier units are. I tried a Denk II power-switch bino and sold it - it was too large and heavy for my Dob and didn't offer any better seeing than my TeleVue bino did.

Thanks,

Peter Natscher
