By offering a listener "questions and answers' show, where we choose 4 questions we've been asked and do our best to answer and offer our thoughts on each topic. This show allows us to combine topics and questions that can be unrelated but are things t...

Folks, it's rare for us to say any optic is the "best" at something, not just our favorite or "one of the best" but "The Best".

This optic offers an image quality paired with a 4x base magnification th...
