New to this site and like most of you did a lot of lurking and reading before deciding to join.
I was fortunate enough to buy a pair of Edg 8x32 at an excellent price recently, but I haven't received them yet. From the posted pics they appear to be the earlier version and in excellent shape, but I won't know for sure until I get them, hopefully within a couple of days.
The last expensive Nikon I looked through were the Venturers which left me most unimpressed.
I thought that I'd give these a shot for 2 main reasons. They seem to get good reviews from a variety of sources, coupled with the fact that I know I wouldn't have any difficulty getting my money back if they don't cut it for me.
Secondly, I was most impressed with the 8x36 ATB - the heavily discounted SHE version - that I bought for my daughter a few months ago. Easy on the eyes, non-critical eye placement, and quite a decent view in the sweet spot. Most of it's "sins" seem to be sins of omission, hence its pleasant and relaxing view. Exceptional value for money IMHO - about $120.
Anyhow, I'll post a mini review of the Edg's when I receive them.
