Very impressed with how long the Kowa remains usable around last light.
Today has been very dull and grey, last light at my location was 17.31 gmt, I found it still perfectly usable at 17.21 when I got back to my car after walking Ben.
The close focus performance of the 6.5 is terrific as others mention. The listed spec of 4.25 feet may be conservative.
