Suzy,
you've made a key statement which has now burst my bubble of simplicty, and I was afraid that would be the case.
"Don't expect the same performance with the same brand through out the focal range though"
I had hoped to simply buy a set and be set for life (like ford vs holden) and if I wanted another focal length, jst get the same brand again, but having to pick brands at different length .................... ahhhhh.
I guess it's abit like buying wine, if they make good cabernet, they might not make good pinot noir, and it varies year to year, in optics I imagine it's model to model.
The review was from the sky at night, and it was the excellent eye relief that was more the draw card. I also saw a user based shoot out, and it was the clarity of the reflection on the vixen (due to the multi coating) that made it look better then the hyperion.
The pentax caught my attention .. yes becasue of the dew resistance, last thing I want is fogging or mould, and weight. Also they don't come up for sale often possibly people keeping them becasue there's not much better.
