Designed as a multipurpose, utilitarian mid to long-range optic, the Hawke 3-9x40 Vantage IR Riflescope Rimfire .22boasts a partially-illuminated crosshair reticle with five selectable brightness levels for use in most lighting conditions in either red or green. Red is ideal for low-light conditions, while green is easier to see in bright sunlight. The 40mm objective draws in generous amounts of light versus smaller objectives while maintaining a low profile. Covered turrets help guard against accidental adjustments while a fast-focus collar and knurled rheostat allow you to quickly adapt to rapidly changing situations. Complementing the performance of the scope is a lightweight and durable anodized aluminum housing, with a 1" one-piece maintube that is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be fog and waterproof.

Q: 1. are these large enough to cut 120mm film negatives in one cut?

A: Yes. The Dahle 40008 Vantage Scissors (8") can cut 120 film in a single cut.

Q: 2. Is blade self-sharpening?

A: There is NO blade. It is just a piece of metal and it cuts paper due to its weight. This is not good for cutting canvas - not even a single sheet simply because there is no blade. Even if you were to put your finger and apply pressure - don't worry, you will not bleed because the edge is not sharp either.

Q: 8. Will the new Canon CN-E 70-200mm T4.4 Compact-Servo Cine Zoom Lens (EF Mount) With this head?

A: The Canon CN-E 70-200mm T4.4 Compact-Servo Cine Zoom Lens (EF Mount) B&H # CAE70200EF is not listed by Vinton as compatible. However the very similar Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 COMPACT-SERVO Cinema Zoom Lens (EF Mount) B&H # CAE1880EF is. It is therefore our opinion that the 70-200mm will work.
