| Is it worth it? Does it do a good job for up close work? |

There is a difference between something like the TNVC RFR which changes the lens focus, and many other solutions that only reduce the aperture and increase the FOV. A simple question. Are you using your PVS-14 in tactical situations? If yes, speak to TNVC about their RFR. No? Then why do you need one? Consider that question first before making your decision. It will help you reach the best choice. Regards David

Just a pain adjusting my lense and keeping my head at the perfect distance. Didn't know if it would have helped or not. |

It will help a little - the narrower aperture will result in some increased depth of field, but you'll still have issues with focal distance. It's main purpose is to allow a quick switch from infinity to near-field and back to infinity focal adjustment. But if no-one's shooting at you, you might as well twist the knob. Regards David

Regards David Does matter if you're getting shot at or not. It's not really faster for the money. Just thought I'd add I don't mean to come across as a jerk. Just my opinion. |
| I like it and keep it for the convenience. I'm not on the 2 way range but find it nice to switch back and forth quickly. If something needs my attention a quick swipe with my hand pops it up and I'm in the game. It also works as a expensive throw lever to work your focus. |

there's atleast three focusing devices that I know of... one of the most expensive
http://www.matbock.com/products/tarsier-eclipse I'll be ordering one to test it out |
