Just a little update on the review I'm preparing. I've completed the practical testing of 6 scopes all up (I deleted the photo of one meaning I need to set up the whole thing again for the pic... ). I've been able to use 4 ED80 scopes for this exercise too, ranging from f5.5 to f/7.5. Freaking marvelous!

I hope to get the review finished in the next couple of weeks. I've learned a lot with this exercise, and the modest little 1.25" focal reducer turns out to be a real hero here!
