Message: <blockquote data-quote="Troubador" data-source="post: 3273407" data-attributes="member: 109211">Both Swaro and Zeiss claim their EL and SF are sharp to the edge and neither is as sharp at the edge as in the centre. But are either of them unsharp at the edge? No. For my eyes and during testing I could see great detail in duck plumage at the edge with both models. Agonising over edge sharpness may be fun for some but I'll take the wider FOV anytime: I just don't use edge sharpness in any meaningful way.And for those who like statistics, the FOV of SF is 25% larger in area than that of EL SV.Lee</blockquote>
