Re: New 125mm binoculars from Vixen

Hi Bill Rose...
I think that what is being offered is what you now have?? Talking to Mike Fowler at Vixen, he confirmed that there was a limited release of about 20-30 units in the US of the interchangable models. I think the upcoming binoculars are probably a re-release of what you have at $4000 instead of $4800.
Can you measure your exit pupils using say the 24 Pans and see if you are getting the full aperture? This would answer the question and is the one thing that will make me decide on "pulling the trigger" on the upcoming release. Also, what is your opinion of the coatings, baffling, and collimation.
Is there provision for collimation if necessary. I've read reviews where that was apparently a problem.
Since I would use these at only low or moderate power, high power deficiencies are not important to me.
