From what you are saying above, has the LVs been superceded by the NLV? (New LV?), as their AFOV and construction seem identical.

Hi Bo,
The Vixen LV IMO comes up a tad short of the LVW in terms of performance criteria in addition to FOV. I certainly find the LV to have a touch less light throughput than the LVW and having less lens elements that should not be the case. Haven't used a lot of LV's though. I believe the newer NLV is made in China or Taiwan, whereas the original LV's and LVW's were made in Japan.
Cheers,
