Hawke Sport Optics 3-12x56 Vantage 30 WA Riflescopefits the niche of a durable hunting scope with an extra-wide 56mm aperture for exceptional low-light performance and a fine-featured illuminated L4A Dot reticle that allows precise aiming without covering the background. The reticle lies in the second focal plane and has a brilliant target dot with red or green illumination and five brightness levels. Its outline resembles the German #4 style, where a target dot is surrounded by a fine crosshair and three thin posts. To generate bright and vivid images, the optical system is outfitted with precision-ground lenses that are treated with 11 layers of anti-reflection full multi-coatings. To ensure outstanding image clarity, free of ghost images and stray light, the interior of the housing is covered with a special black finish that does not reflect any light. This iteration of the series also features a widened angle (WA) of view: 42.8-10.7' field of view at 100 yards.

To match the quality of the optics, the housing is designed with strength, durability, and ergonomics in mind. Its defining features are a CNC-machined single-piece 30mm maintube, scratch-resistant anodized finish, water and fogproof performance, and a high-torque slip-free rubberized zoom ring. To protect windage and elevation turrets from accidental bumps, they have low-profile caps, and to guard optics from dirt and debris, the scope ships with two lens covers.

Q: 3. Will I be able to use this head if i connect the Canon RC-V100 Remote Controller to a C300 Mk II? in other words is there any other option to connect this head to the camera?

A: The C300 Mark II only has a single LANC input. You should be able to have the C300 Mark II on the Vantage and also be connected to the RC-V100. However you will only be able to control the camera itself through one controller.

Q: 4. Thanks. But I still don't know the difference between "apparent'" and "actual" angle of view for comparison to Snypex 10x32. ?

A: The apparent angle of view is what it looks like through your binoculars: as if you were (in the case of the Opticron 10x32 Discovery WA ED Binoculars) 10 times (10x) closer to the object. The field of view measures the same thing in concrete terms, as 318' @ 1000 yd--the width of the view at 1000 yards distance.

Q: 5. Pls advise where is this bin made in. Tq.

A: The Opticron 10x32 Explorer WA ED-R Binoculars is made in China.

Q: 6. whats the dimention of this converter?

A: The Century Precision Optics WA-8XIF-20 0.8x Zoom-Thru Wide Angle IF Converter Lens - for Canon and Fujinon 20x, 21x and 22x IF Broadcast Lenses (B&H #CEWA8XIF20) is 5.5" (14cm) wide and x 2.62" (6.64cm) long.

Q: 7. What is "apparent angle of view"? The number is radically different for the "actual angle of view" for other products.

A: The correct "apparent angle of view" for the Opticron 10x32 Discovery WA ED Binoculars is 6.1 degrees, not the 61 degrees printed in the Specs--that's a mistake. All of the 10x32 binoculars that we have show an apparent angle of view between 5.0 and 7.5 degree.

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.
