There's still something here I'm not quite understanding. I like and am accustomed to about a 68* AFOV in a good 10x bino (BN or UV 32).
If I want 68* in a quality 8x, there's only... the Zeiss SF, at $2500+. (Yes I know about the Nikon EII, but that's not really at the same level of performance.)
If I want 68* in a quality 7x, there's only... the Nikon WX at $6000+, and 5+ pounds!
As surprising as the first result seems, the second is even more so. Why is the technical challenge of providing FOV so great at these lower powers?
