Does anyone know much about this comparatively new refractor by Vixen the: AX103S??
See website below-
http://vixenoptics.com/refractors/ax103.html
It is supposed to be the top of their line made in Japan with 5 years warranty.
If you look carefully at the spec's and the provided optical data it all seems virtually identical to the fabled Takahashi TSA-102
BUT the Vixen includes an in-built field flattner and is close to $800 cheaper than the Tak.
I know Vixen products have been copied for years so I am wondering whether they have decided to give others a taste of the same medicine and are making their own version/direct competitor to the TSA-102?
Any comments would be very welcome
