Vixen LV 4mm
Vixen LV 4mm
I was intending to keep this EP but I have now decided to part with this much treasured 4mm Vixen LV eyepiece which in my opinion is in excellent condition and comes with all original Vixen box, caps packaging etc.
IMHO the Vixen LV eyepieces are grossly underestimated. They are made in Japan, feature 20mm eye-relief and outside the very well regarded Pentax XWs and Vixen LVWs they are the only other eyepieces to my knowledge which use genuine lanthanum glass. There are many good reviews about these EPs comparing them against Radians (especially 4mm for planetary viewing), Naglers and in my own opinion are just as good as Tak LE's.
There are no differences in the lens/configurations between the current Vixen NLV's and these the original LV's except for a change in the eyecup. In my own opinion these original LVs with the firm rubber eyecup are, in fact, far better than the plastic twist-top eyecup of the current NLVs.
A 4mm NLV now retails for $165 (plus PPH) at My AstroShop.
For those interested in planetary observing I cannot recommend enough what a clear and comfortable eyepiece these 4mm LVs represent
Asking $110 including postage anywhere in Australia.
Please send PM's only.
Thank you for looking at my listing.
