RE: [APML] Opinions on TV-85 vs. Tak 102-106

["Eric Barber" <ppsupport@cox.net>]

I'm very interested in this topic, as these are the two scopes I am most
interested in moving up to... Just strictly from memory, isn't the 'hot
spot' issue one that manifests more on large format film? Seems like
that is what I remember hearing. I don't really know if I have seen any
35mm FSQ work, seems like mostly CCd and large format guys. Does anyone
know of any?

It sounds like the 106 has several advantages over the 102. Although I
have heard reports too of the hot spot, I didn't know it was confined to
the 106. Anyone have more infor on this?

Thanks,
