JG,
The 8x wouldn't tempt me on Fov alone, though the 10x looks quite respectable in this regard. You've said it compares well optically to some pretty good glass - any chance of comparing the 10x Toric?
You mentioned it had "heft" - is the specified 748grams weight accurate?
Also what direction does the focuser turn to infinity?
Finally, can you make any comment for the 10x on the ER when using with glasses?
Thanks, Chosun :gh:
Yeah, it's somewhat surprising that the 10x specs are so much more attractive than the 8x, — including a 17mm ER that might work for me (with close fitting glasses).
I note there is another 8x42 with more attractive specs called the TEKOA that is $200 less expensive and considerably lighter because it's made from your favorite plastics.
