Yesterday I received a grey Nikon ED50 for hikes and to complement my ED82A.First impressions: So small, so light, and oh so great optics - simply stunning, love at first sight! :t: (Of course, in dim light the large ED82A plays in another league.)The ED50 works extremely well with my MCII zoom eyepiece (= 13-40x) and also with the diminutive 27/40/50x MC (no WA; weights 35g; I picked it once NIB for 40 Euros). With the latter, it seems to be the smallest quality scope ever. I also tried the 24/30x MC WA, my main eyepiece on the ED82A although it is not recommended for the ED50 (besides, it should give a magnification of 16x like the 16/24/30x DS). I expected strong vignetting or something like that but as far as I can see everything works allright. Do you know whether the 24/30x MC WA should not be used with the ED50/50A?Kind regards, Walther</blockquote>
