Hi
I just bought this mini scope as a way of lightening my load. I’ve tried it with Baader Morpheus 12.5mm, giving 16x and 76* afov, on a monopod and a shoulder stock. I really like it so far but my experience was so limited by heat haze that I’m not sure what tell you about it. It is really bright and sharp that’s for sure, when used on things near enough not to be hazy.
What I noticed most is that it felt like the depth of focus was quite narrow, surprising given the low mag. Is this just me getting used to a helical focusser? Or a function of the short focal length? 200mm by the way Or is there something else at work that I don’t know about?
Anyone used it and felt the same about the depth of focus?
Also any suggestions for other e/ps in the 15 to 20 ish range that are lighter weight than the huge Morpheus? Willing to trade reduced fov for weight savings
I’ll say more about it after some less hazy try outs.
Thanks
