Typically a 3x magnification zoom (like an 8-24mm) is only 2x TFOV zoom, because you start with 60deg AFOV at 8mm and end with a 40deg AFOV at 24mm. I don't know if those numbers are correct for the Baader but they are fairly typical even for some of the best zoom EPs.
$300 is reasonable for a second hand XW but folks to have those EPs tend to hang onto them.

So you haven't used a Baader zoom and just assuming its bad? But, then you recommend a clone of a clone. Yeah k.
