There you go Brock, living proof. :smoke:
Thanks for your comments Holzphoto.

Yes, living proof of the
exception to the rule, which I allowed for in my wording (...
most SV EL owners will not....). :smoke:
There's always going to be a defector in every army. Holz is on the Defenders of Absam's watch list.
Now, if we were to see maybe 20 deserters, Swaro should start worrying and put its redesign team into motion to make a four-bridge SV EL II with an 8.8* FOV, extra length, A LOT more pincushion than any SV EL (equal to the SLC-HD, which beats the SF), and the most difficult part - design a focuser that turns smoothly in both directions on every sample.
Unfortunately, therein lies the rub. Unless Swaro pilfers the design from Zeiss or Nikon, it's going to take several years to produce a smooth focuser, and by then, the SFs will be flying off the shelves (the new SF RC model), and with declining sales, Swaro will have closed its optics division to concentrate on making crystals. Nadja Swarovskii will be named Queen of Absam (btw, this was all predicted by Nostradamus).
Then there are the Captain Kangeroo deep-pocketed buyers who will keep their SV EL and also buy an SF.
For "these people" (now that we have defined them), I would suggest instead of buying a variation on a theme because you have a two-car garage, consider a tax deductible contribution to the
Buy Brock an 8x32 Terra ED Fund (501c). PM me for the address and tax deduction forms.
