      Typical Vixen quality. Good finish. Not much to review. It is white so if that does no color coordinate with your sense of style, do beware.

      5.0 Practical solution

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      This thick and heavy cast dovetail rail is a bit shorter than the typical 8" extruded rail, which is a plus for my application - to hold a short, f/5 refractor tube. My favorite thing about these original Vixen dovetails is how they are cast to "nest" on top of Vixen and Synta EQ mount saddles, a nice feature to have in the dark. I have two of these. Excellent!
