Other users have reported the same to me. The extra 2 mm in objective diameter can't make that much of a difference, and even though my SE is more than 10 years older than the EII and may have leaded glass, it's hard to believe that even if it does have leaded glass that this would make much difference particularly where recently manufactured optical glass is involved.</p></blockquote><p></p>
