I'd like to see lower axial and off-axis aberrations and more linear light transmission, since I know those things can be done better. The 8x54 image isn't that good. I was ready to buy that one to replace my 8x56 FL, but quickly changed my mind when I saw it.I think I'll wait for something that puts it all together before I haul out "superb" or "crystal clear". <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
