How does the new one compare to the old?
I was disappointed by the standard 8x32 DCF SP which in my opinion, was in the same league, optically speaking, as a £100 porro (my celestron Ultima DX 8x32 which cost me £84 was actually better...).
The main flaws were:
The excess of CA (is the ED actually effective?)
The average sharpness, even at the centre of the field
The massive field curvature
The limited eye-relief
I would like to hear from people who have actually compared the two in real life.
How big is the gap between a Pentax 8x32 DCF ED and a Leica Ultravid HD 8x32?
