I posted recently on my ED82 and I continue to be amazed. It is just so good.
I recently bought an ED50 out of Japan (brand new). I am using it with the 24x eyepiece and it seems like a good combo. Perhaps the ED82 image has spoiled me, but I don't love the ED50. Of course it is small and light (I use mine with a Bogen Junior 3009 tripod and it is a very nice light package) but I don't find the resolution to be where I'd like it to be. Also I find the focus to be very precise - depth of field is very tight. I need to do a side by side with my EDiii 60.
Do people find a lot of unit variation on the ED50?
Maybe my expectations are just too high?
