The next laser I'm considering is a red, probably a 635 or a 650. After doing some searching I think I understand that the 650 has better divergence but a dimmer beam.
I have seen some pics of some 635nm with some pretty bad divergence yet also saw pics that the beam looked great even outdoors It made me pause to order till I found out more. I'm in for the beam, I'm not a burner so I don't want to get something thats not acceptably tight.
How much do lens's help out with the 635's? Do most lasers come with len's to help better the divergence or is this something I need to ask the seller first? Does a 635 with a good lens have better divergence than a 650nm?
Which would you prefer if you could only own one or the other and if you dont mind could you say why?
Cheers and thanks,
