Holy Thread-resurrection Batman ...........
Now that it has surfaced, I find it interesting to see that the old Vixen LVWs are still up there as far as quality of views is concerned.
I now have the full set and can see no reason to look elsewhere, I think the difference between these and the Pentax XWs is so small that I would not bother mixing and matching brands. The LVWs for me are the perfect amount of eye-relief, nicely parfocal, all fit into a 2" diagonal (or a 1.25" bar the 42mm). They do have a little bit of warm colour out at the very edge of view but are very sharp across the view.
Although when they were introduced they were 'heavyweights' the more modern TVs et al have taken over for their mass. I have not tried the XFs but hope to in the near future.
At the moment the 13mm and the 22mm are getting most use. The seeing hasn't supported the 5 and 3.5 lately even in my little 900mm Tak.
