I had two 8x32 LXs, and both panned fairly smoothly, though there was a bit of "rolling ball," but not enough to bother me.However, one BF member said that the "rollling ball" in the 8x32 LX made him nauseous. He'd chuck his cookies for sure if he looked through the full sized models. Apparently, there's a full spectrum of reaction to "rolling ball," from not seeing it, to seeing it but not being bothered by it, to seeing it and not being able to tolerate it, to getting nauseous from even a moderate amount.  It's amazing that the brain of the same species has so much "sample variation". <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
