But I doubt that I can get use to using the wrong finger to focus with, it feel very misplaced. The SLC got as bad ergonomics as the EL got good, imo.Yes my ED2 got a diopter that is assembled wrong on the scale and ZR is going to fix it, not big a deal, especially since they will sort it out.I push for the ED2 because I believe it´s such a great bin. I have other bins that I also own, that I don´t push for. I.e I recently sold my Vortex Vipers. They were good, but they had visible CA, and I can´t live with that. So I don´t push for them. I have a pair of Nikon Monarchs 8x42, they have benefits but they lack the brightness, sharpness and got a very shallow DOF, so I don´t push for them. I have Bushnell legends, great view but too big to use during hours of birding, so I don´t push for em.Additionally it is very hard to try out the ED2 before buying them since you wont stumble upon them at any store, so it can be helpful to read about them here. I have bought all my optics based on reviews and opinions from BF, and I have never regretted it.Have you used the ED2? Many who got a problem with it has not even tried it <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
