I have had several inquiries as to what the were the "limitations" I was referring to below. I would like to emphasize that the "could" in the note below refers to a possibility not a known fact, and point out that I also meant "could not". the LSR-II is a new optics design. Until there is some independent evaluations and experience with the instrument, we should all keep an open mind and be skeptical of hyoe, Marty >> >>The LSR-II is cheaper.
