Both pictures seem soft to me, I dont know wich Iphone was used, but the owner said he may have blurred the semi-Apo photo (handheld  everything could happen), however he states that they show the improvment controlling CA and better sharpness and contrast of the Apo. Comparing photos from APM with the Vixen ones is like comparing apples to oranges in my opinion, diferent cameras, diferent settings, diferent targets, diferent light..... I am not saying that I think one is better than the other, simply we dont have anything concrete that shows that, and without a controlled and proper review side by side this time.... photos doesnt worth a 1000 words!I love the Vixen, to my eyes its a better looking bino than the semi-Apo plus its ligther, but for the same price, something is wrong if they are diferent beasts when its come to performance and not many have realized that!!! wouldnt that be strange?Dont get me wrong I value all the time you spent on the web asking for opinions, but this same opinions when not supported by quantifiable data are just flavors of a bigger picture and people have diferent expectations, who have spend time on this forum have realized that people dont experience the same and that the same doesnt suit everyone equally.Of course you should be concern with CA, that is one kind of aberrration that could wreck a view for many, but you shouldnt misregard resolution, specially if you want high mags .Not so well corrected optics showing astigmatism, coma, spherical aberration... will not resolve so well above 40x.</blockquote>
