Darren, Let us know how it turns out on ol' Sol with your G7 camera. I haven't sprung yet on getting a Hyperion Zoom, but almost have. I guess my astro dollars...
Look at it from Vic's point of view. He's running a buisiness, and has eaked out a particular nitch. He's sold thousands of various model 80-102mm models, how...
