Message: <blockquote data-quote="NDhunter" data-source="post: 3417850" data-attributes="member: 74573">I will give my thoughts about the Nikon EDG binoculars.  I have owned the 10x42 model since2009 almost 7 years now, first the EDG I and now the current EDG II.  If the OP wants to scrollback, there are lots of comments about the EDG, on the Nikon subforum.I like the EDG, because I like the flat field view, as I have experience with the SE's and the LX and LXLmodels.  Nikon has the formula just the way I like it, a very nice view without any distortions alongthe way.  I also have had the Swarovision since 2010, and last fall the Zeiss Victory SF, so I know and understandhow those fine binoculars compare.They are all very good, but my comment of the 8.5x42 SV, is the view is almost too flat, and thatcan make for a different view, that some may need to get used to.  I have not seen any globe effectin any binocular if anyone cares.As mentioned above the EDG has quality fit and finish, excellent eyecups and one of the smoothestfocusers that you find on any binocular.  I find the light handling very good without flare or glare, andthe colors are very natural, and it offers and nice bright view that is very satisfying.There is no perfect binocular, as they all have their strengths and weaknesses, and that iswhy many reviews and thoughts on here may vary.  That is why it is nice to have choices.I consider the EDG an alpha equal to the others mentioned.Jerry</blockquote>
