I brought a pair of Nikon 10x32 HG back in around 2006. At the time I had the option of the HG or the HGL, I went for the HG because I preferred the view. The only thing I didn't like was the eyecups which only locked in the fully extend position so I sent them off to Nikon to have the HGL multi positional eyecups fitted. The minor complaints I have about them are the same as everyone else which are the weight and the CA, which is quiet noticeable to me. I also have a pair of older 8x32 Ultravids in which are much lighter and have less CA, but I generally prefer the overall look of the Nikons and the smoothness of the focus operation.
I still use the Nikon regularly but would like something with at least the same image quality, lighter and with better control of CA. The Nikon range now appears a lot more complicated so I was wondering with the improvements in coatings and design is it possible to get the same performance as the HG in a lighter, cheaper package.
