But they're about twice the price of a Mewlon.
There are certainly no massed-produced cats/reflectors that compare.
If I was going to start again. I'd go with an M210 and an NP101 or LOMO/LZOS 4-4.5" |
I think i'm going to have to do the same and start saving up for a Mewlon as well, maybe a Mewlon 250/300 though
Ive heard the following which use DK design also provide excellent views (and are just as expensive if not more):
Planewave
Parallax
Royce
Orion
Lazarotti
Any experience with the above from anyone?
