What's the use of sharp edges?
Does anyone look at binocular edges to ID/admire a bird (not mentioning stars)?
I love wide angle. If you have ever looked for diving birds or breaching whales and dolphins, or a fast moving bird through dense foliage, and are eagerly anticipating the moment said bird / dolphin would come into view again by trying to track the location it should reappear for (sometimes) a split second, you realize how much difference a wide field can make.
It's easy to critisize bad wide angle binoculars. But using that as an argument to critisize all wide angle binoculars, is a bad argument. There are good wide angle binoculars, stick to those.
Life is too short to critisize bad binoculars, be it wide field or tunnel view.
