CA troubles me more than most other things, and the FL is just about CA - free. Hence my other recommendation of the Kowa, which is very close behind. A friend had a loan of an EL 8x32, which certainly had great merits, but i got CA in it - I still think 10x32 is pushing the boundaries a little for the kind of birding i do, and is probably much more light-dependent with the 3.2mm EP.The overall design of the 32mm FL suits me very well; eyecups, eye relief, focus, barrel-shape...sometimes you find something that was just made for you. Thus, i'm a little wary regarding any SF 32mm, as i bet it won't 'feel' the same.</blockquote>
