Hi all , Let me start by saying this is the best form for info on lasers ,I have a few reds , buying my first green , I would like some feed back some of the lasers i am looking at.

Opotronics PPL 125 or the 165
Nova Alpha 125

Thanks

p.s. you shuld start with a <5mW i would if starting with greenies because as some might know green is more sensitive to the eye then red so wear protective goggles for anything over 10mW thnks

Optotronics RPL-165=WIN!

Razako he said PPL not RPL, but you should go with the RPL from optotronics its better than the PPL.

Ok , Why is one better than the other one????

Well for starter's better quality of the laser and if you look at the website there adjustable and come on who doesn't like that? ;D Plus when you get a RPL right now you get a 4.99 Premium I might just get me one of these too

Ok , you are saying I should get the optotronics RPL 165 with the adjustable cap?

yes basically its better in all catigories ;D but hey go with your instinct

Sorry for the threadjack, but if you're interested in buying an RPL send me a PM - I MAY be able to get you a better deal. (My really awesome deals are on the 300mW and up, on a 165mW it'll be tight as to whether Jack/opto or I am a better choice. Send me a PM anyway though )

Yes. The RPL is better than the PPL in every possible way.
