Hello,
I have been working towards getting the funds for this for quite a while and I am finally ready to order. I want a "big" 10x.
The EL 10x50 seems to be something of a forum champion at the moment. But I can't help but wonder how much brighter the HT might be with a smidgen more diameter and the HT glass?
It seems the EL has a much nicer field of view and eye relief (not to mention edge sharpness) and I am leaning that way due to those specs and partly because of all of the spherical aberration reports in the early 54mm HTs.
Can anyone tell me how good/bad a current 10x54 HT might be?
Would anyone pick the HT over the EL?
Raw/pure resolution, brightness, and glare control are the main considerations. CA would ideally be low but so far I can detect it in anything which I look for it in so I am not going to sweat it. I don't really know yet if I care about edge sharpness as I have never had it.
Thoughts?
Also, why are the Swaros on sale at Eagle?
Thanks
