    That would be greatly appreciated!
    I know sometimes pics of electronics with other electronics don't always translate well.

    I'll try to post a vid or two that I found that shows comparisons. Maybe if someone that has one can see if there's truly looks like that it would ve helpful to me any anyone else looking at these.

    I know not all tubes are the same so could be potentially better or worse based on the luck of what you get.

    We have a brand new, factory, L3Harris M914A in our lab at work. I've used it back to back with my personal Photonis Echo from JRH and, to my eye, there is no difference in image quality between the two. The L3 was 2x the cost, though...

    I think this is a comparison of the same Echo tube. If not please correct me and I'll update or remove the link.

    Looking through photonis and L3 tubes, the only thing that stood out was with the gain at max, the L3 was a lot brighter.

    Lol, thanks for taking them. I use tapatalk so it handles all that resizing stuff for me. If you don't have a place that you normally host phots from I could post them for you if you wanted.

    Can pm you my email.

    I think once you use them in the dark dark, it will become apparent.

    That and apparently how laser illuminators look on high power. Allegedly you get less washout with the filmless tubes.
