The focus globe of almost any parabolic would be larger than the lav
mics. It's not really a problem.
I certainly agree there are better mics, but for a low budget start, one
of the sony lavs is going to be hard to beat costwise, and will do a
decent job.

I agree with all of these if you have more money. In the case of the MKH
mics a power supply will be necessary to use them with a walkman MD.
I am curious about one thing, have you then come up with a circuit to
replace the one in the telinga handle? Otherwise the telinga element is
not going to do much.
