Default Vixen PH130SS f/7 refractor

Anyone know anything about this (new?) 130mm f/7 refractor? See
www.ad-vix.com for further information and pictures.

I am surprised that they still have not changed the akward focuser.

Two-element ED, note the foil spacers.
Also, note the reflection in the objective.
Looks like those lenses have steep curves on them.

Rich,

I suppose the reflection in the objective suggests poor coatings. Do the
foil spacers suggest anything bad? What about the steep curves?

I doubt the coatings are poor, but can't say. They look red in the
picture so that's different. Foil spacers won't hurt.
Steep curves mean no lateral displacement will be tolerated!
