Zoom for ES 80 (1 Viewer)

Hello all,
I have an ES 80 GA ED scope with a 32x lens. I was thinking about a zoom and wondered if you could recommend one? Many thanks.
 
I have a 20-60 SDL zoom and really want a 32x WW.

I haven't tried one, but believe that it is a wider FOV than an SDL at comparative zoom.

The reason is that I find that I don't actually see that much more detail when zooming in with the SDL, due to the loss of brightness and extra effect of vibrations. Often I zoom out and see more detail than I did when I was zoomed in.

Same here! I have the HDF zoom but now use only the 32xww. That said, the zoom does have a bit more versatility and the HDF zoom works well with this scope.
