Hi Casstony, not too worried about the 'expense' of trialing the Pentax 14. It was a calculated risk and worth the experience, I got about 75% of original cost which is a fair return in my view, and the new owner is very satisfied. I definitely could see myself going for a 7mm Pentax XW down the road, I thought the on-axis performance of the Pentax was that good, all that is was raved to be.

Its has crossed my mind that if the Vixen LVW is that much far ahead of my 18 year old TV Widefield, how much better would a current-day TV NP101, TMB or WO Apo be compared to my 18 year old vintage Genesis - does the scope itself require upgrading? And how long is a piece of string...... Fox
