onatangent Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Am buying one this week I thought. Can't decide between buying a new hawke panorama and night master m800 led in white,green or red or the photon. Don't mean to hijack but two birds, one stone...... Leaves me some change to buy some new decoys going m800 route and a better than what I have scope for my pcp. Is the photon grainy issue due to illuminator or the resolution of the display....or just the price point of the photon?? Mixed reviews I have seen so far and all comes back to its excellent for the money, rubbish in the nv scope world big scheme of things is that? Buying something this week so will keep an eye on this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyshooter Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 brian,which do you rate the best the new photon or the pitch black Hi Telf, the new pitchblack unit is has imo the better picture, less grainy image ,it depends whether you can deal with the heads up shooting position,i have no problems with the heads up position because all my shooting is off primos tripod sticks, do not be fooled by the different design of the PB unit it is a very capable nv unit and at £385-00 is great value. atb brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
