Binoviewer Comparo Question

Hello All,

A recent thread got me wondering if anyone has ever compared binoviewers in identical, perfectly matched (in mono mode), preferrably tracking, scopes with matching sets of EP's?

My personal experience with comparo's has been that if it involves much trading out of hardware, I tend to lose the image delicacies during each changeover. The units discussed on this forum appear to be so close in optical quality that maybe the only way to show up subtle differences would be to go back and forth between two competing units, with everything else identical, in only a second or two.

If two folks on this forum happened to live close to each other and have identical scopes and EP's, but different binos, maybe it could be worked out. I use a Denk II in a Vixen R200SS but live out in the boonies of AZ...

Thanks,
Milt
