A downer for me as I want one for my Viso. I'd Cover the Waterfront! But they throw in a Viso when you get one. Not the other way round like I'd said a few hours ago. But I don't need two Viso's. Unless one was a II or I as I have a III. The most uncool of them all!!! The I looks like its made out of pipes. I like that! Very compact! As I now live in an apartment instead of a house the idea of having all three Viso's doesn't quite work out whatever the advantages of this over that for what. I don't even have one over here yet. My three! Getting to sound like Abbot and Costello. The price of the real long lenses for the Viso's seems very low from what I've glimpsed. And I'm getting into shooting my 300 with my D200. Which means 450mm. Getting to be a big deal for me. http://rabinergroup.com/EastWest/images/EW060616_173155.jpg All my life I've never had anything over 200mls. But now I'm a big boy I can rent a mini Palomar telescope for my Viso and shoot far off galaxies; in a single bound. Mark Rabiner New York, NY 40?47'59.79"N 73?57'32.37"W markrabiner.com
