FeFe 0 #1 March 17, 2003 is there much difference between cross sights from Larsen & Brusgaard and Brent Finley's (ex. for the glass covering) to justify $45 price gap, anyone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeFe 0 #2 March 18, 2003 OK, let's put it this way: does anyone have any experience with other-than-Breant's Newton cross sights? say the ones listed at paragear? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #5 March 18, 2003 Quotedoes anyone have any experience with other-than-Breant's Newton cross sights? say the ones listed at paragear? Ok, NOW I feel like I can reply. When I first started camera flying I got an L&B cross sight. It was ok. That is to say that it works as advertised. The cross was not very tight and the exact center of the sight was difficult to picture because it was kinda of vague. My understanding is that Brent's are pretty good, but to be honest, I've never looked through one of his cross sights. I now use a Brent Finley concentric ring sight and I believe there is no finer sight on the market. If you really want to do precision camera flying, this is one tool you'll want to have.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brentfinley 0 #6 March 20, 2003 $45 gap? Where is there a gap that big? The highest retail on mine is $130. Sunshine factory gap Brent-LB = $3 Pier gap = $13. If you don't like the $115 - 130 retail, buy a blem from me for $100... you'll be happy. You can rotate the optics in mine to suit your style.

brentfinley 0 #7 March 21, 2003 Actually, there is one more thing that makes mine more expensive. The time and effort made to laminate the internal pieces together. This makes the sight "brighter" or clearer because you lose 4% to internal reflection between every air gap. L&B has 4 pieces (3 air gaps). Mine has 3 pieces (2 air gaps).
