Aren't you due up for Canada soon? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />I did not really say much about the comparison between the Zen ED and the Peregrine XP. My mistake. Kevin did do a nice job of summing up my feelings on the comparison though. The interesting part is that I do not really see the warm color in the Zen unless I compare it to the XP. When looking at red-orange objects I see better contrast and color in the Zen, my guess, subsequently because of it. In direct comparison, on these objects, the XP does not appear as sharp or contrasty. On everything else they are pretty much equal.Something interesting I did note though is that I was seeing some reflections on the surface of the XP eyepiece which I was not with the Zen. Of course the XP does have those nice little flared eyecups which reduce this factor significantly.</blockquote>
