I was surprised as well. My only concern is, as mentioned, longer term reliability. Even with 24 month warranty, I wouldn't want one or both to fail in the middle of the winter night of a 12-14 hour highway drive. But I'll have an extra set of OEM in the car just in case.

I will plan to do a comparison between some good quality phillips brands to these if one of these fail.

Interesting, found this video which shows the chips they use are very similar in performance to the Philips ones. Chips look to be Seoul CSP Y19 and the reviews I've come across in the last five minutes are actually pretty good.

Aye, that's a late '50s J-3. Did some quick testing and the focus seems close enough despite it being designed for the slightly different (ancient) Zeiss baseline. (The Ikon is built to the modern Leica standard for obvious reasons). Looking to pickup a CV 35mm Skopar at some point if I see a good deal.

The finder on the Ikon is amazing, so huge. I may have to get contact lenses just to see the 35mm framelines as they're too far out to use with glasses - to say nothing of the 28mm lines.

I picked up a set of these while browsing amazon and recall you saying the wierd name. They were on flash sale and used a coupon I had to get the pair of 9500 for 25$.

Threw them on the GF car and so far no complaints. No fans and the heatsinks are small enought that the dust covers fit back on after. No seperate driver box either.

If you like trucks and like driving them, why not.

He's still grinding to make a buck. Much more respectable than sitting around drinking wine all day. Props.
