This is frustrating! Now I can’t wait for these innovations to ‘trickle down’ and become part of the way all scopes are made. Keeping the apparent field of view the same throughout the zoom range, putting the magnification and focus controls together on the barrel, having such a whopping great field of view at the lowest magnification—with any luck those things will be widely adopted, even if other aspects of the scope, like its flat, chromatic aberration-free field and sensational central sharpness, are impossible to copy at lower prices. Really good review.

Thanks for your kind words. There are some excellent scopes available today, at different price levels, and I think Harpia definitely brings something different to the party, and in a sound, practical way. As always with optics you need to try it out to discover if its talents appeal to you.
