There is an opening up, decompressing, easing, of the view that decreases the fatigue factor a significant amount. I may have seen roughly the same thing with the 10X42 SV, it just seemed like I had to mentally work harder to decipher what I saw. I find the difference hard to articulate, but when I made a direct comparison between the two, I immediately knew I would be making the switch. I will try to get a feel for the 3D aspect of the 10X50 when I use them more, but I can say that for me anyway, I found the EL 10X42 SV to have far more pop and WOW factor than the Nikon 10X42 SE when I directly compared them, if not maybe the same 3D effect.</blockquote>
