Spec's are close to the XF which I already have. The Vixen 8-24mm, 60 degrees at 8mm and 40 at 24mm, eyerelief with twist-up eyecups 15-19 and weight is 9 oz. XF zoom 6.5-19.5mm, 60 degrees and 42, eyerelief 11-15, don't remember the weight? Neither have overly wide fov. But with all the negative response on the XF which I find very usable when I have the need for a zoom, this might be an exceptable alternative. I know from reading older post's on this forum and other's that people had good luck with the older Vixen EP. This new EP is just like there GLH zoom on the Geoma spotter's but, has click stop and more Lanthanum glass elements. So I don't think there should be any problems reaching infinate focus on the Pentax, barrel length is the same and I was told it works great? Bryce...</p></blockquote><p></p>
