It doesn't seem so but will have to test it with the Ethos17, with the HW 12.5, the Nagler22, ... and that takes time that I will not have until the end of the month...:-CThe idea of replacing the TMB92 by the X95 was also to gain on weight and dimensions, but also because of the internal focus of the X95 and that it's available for purchasing, which is not the case of the TMB92.Are using a diagonal or prism with your ED80/600?</blockquote>
