Sure, who wouldn't. Especially IS is rewarding here. But keep in mind the difference in price...

Same here. But at almost 10x the price I paid for my mirror, it didn't really fit my budget.
I will be upgrading to one hopefully in fall and my mirror will be handed down to my son.
Also took some pics with my Viv Series 1 earlier this week. I'll try and get some pics posted today or tomorrow.
You forgot to mention that it focuses to 6 ft. Mine is very sharp and I paid $10 at a yard sale for it. For what it is, its very good. Light and easy to carry. You can take it with you all the time and it also works well for portraits.
