I have been testing scopes over the last few weeks and although I think the latest Kowa 77mm with its new zoom is the best, I am still leaning towards the ED 82 for performance and value (2/3 the cost of a Kowa). I hasten to add that my choice is based on fixed EP's not the zoom. It seems to me that in the ED 82 Nikon has a body as good as anything else but the zoom is very much in the lower leagues. Does anyone know if Nikon is planning to release a third generation 'wide' zoom to compete with Kowa, Swaro etc? Alternatively can any other new generation zoom be fitted in any way?
thanks.
thanks.
