Nikon SE and EDG have flat fileds with no RB artifact, and IMO their optics are excellent and leave very little to be desired. The flat-field optics of the MHG may be expected to be similar.Regarding the MHG and EDG, the EDG line has not been a great success for Nikon. As some have suggested it seems that Nikon has given up competing in the high-end binos market. My hope (and speculation) is that the MHG will be an alpha level binos line that's offered at a much more reasonable price. If Nikon will sell many more MHGs than EDGs, the MHG line will be more profitable.Peter</blockquote>
