If you are really keen on these lanthanum EPs but not on a strict budget the NLV's are the identical glass and optical design only with a different eye-cup design (twist top instead of folding rubber). Although I haven't personally had a chance to look there is some talk that the coatings are a bit better on the new NLV's over the old LV's. IMHO the strength of the LV's/NLVs are to be found in the shorter FL's when used with a tracking mount etc otherwise I think you are better off with any of the widefield EPs on the market like Vixens own LVW or of course TVs like Pans/Naglers etc.

Just some food for thought
