I have the Vixen 8-24.
Surprisingly good quality optics, good enough to see a lot of detail in planetary observing. Little ghosting, no light scatter.
The FOV is nowhere near good enough for DSO's 50 deg at 8mm focal length, 40 deg at 24 deg.
It is not as enjoyable to use as for example Pentax XF or XW but its light, relatively cheap and it has 20mm eye relief.
I use it as calibration eyepiece in my LX200.
Funny only a year ago or so I thought it was all I'll ever need. This is before I've discovered Pentax eyepieces - with the help of John (Ausastronomer)....mostly.
