I'm looking at getting a second ( compact ) scope and have stumbled across the Vixen Geoma 52-S which seems an absolute bargain at around $US 150. ( here in Japan ). It seems to be a toss up between the Kowa 502 and this Vixen model ( which has interchangeable eyepieces unlike the Kowa ). Like I say it'll only be a second scope so I'm not expecting great things from either.
Vixen seem to make VERY cheap scopes ( 80mm ED at around $US 600 for example ). Does anyone use these scopes? Does the price reflect the quality? They don't seem to be popular/well known in Europe/N America.
Any feedback would be great.
