Yep, I'm afraid the 41 Panoptic is just too big and heavy.
I've got it sold and my shorter focal length EP arrived today.
They do look nice though, side by side. wink

But, I'm downsizing...yeah, that's it. 8)

Linton,

Did you considering mounting the 41 to the bottom of your mirror box for counterweight?

Let me see, the Nagler is more expensive, taller and heavier. Just admit it, you must have it......

I know what you mean! I was looking for something with a little longer Focal Length than my 41 Pan and hopefully easier to handle. The TV 55 Plossl is nice but then I found this 60mm that's perfect - er, ah, well Almost perfect. I tell myself it's ergonomically easier to handle! Besides the 41 Pan does make a great counterweight for this one!! grin

Clear Skies, Bill
