Galih,

I am afraid that the Ultravids have even more pincushion (and CA) than your FLs.

Galih:

If you are looking for an excellent 10x32 with very little pincushion, you should check
out the Nikon 10x32 LXL or Premiere. I had a 10x32 LXL and it is a quality optic, and
for birding very quick focus. They are very good from edge to edge, and they
are worthy of your consideration, and will compete with those others mentioned.

The other choice here may be the Nikon EDG 10x32, also flat field, and for your part
of the world, the new Nikon EDG may be available by summer.

hi Jerry... ^_^

Nikon LX's great but I'm sensitive to CA too, so maybe Nikon EDG is the best option, but worry about the size..from what I've read, EDG 32 is almost as big as the big brother: EDG 42

any thoughts on EDG 32 size Jerry??

many thanks before..

Back again, I checked out the specs as best I could, and here is the current Nikon EDG
10x32.
5.6" Long, Weight 23.6 oz.

10x42 EDG
5.9" Long Weight 28.9 oz.

Zeiss 10x32 FL
4.6" Long Weight 19.75 oz.

I have the 10x42 Nikon EDG and am happy with the size and weight as it is so nicely
balanced and just handles very nicely.

I am thinking the newly designed EDG will be somewhat similar in spec to the one posted
here. So it appears the Zeiss is lighter and smaller. So it is personal preference, some
people like a little more size and the weight for steadier handling.
With optics this good it is really up to you!
