    NL >=50 mm versions?

    I think you would have understood the meaning before you edited your post to lessen its boisterous tone significantly! The tone down is appreciated though.

    NL >=50 mm versions?

    Yes, interestingly he's corrected it in the 15x review but left the incorrect information in the 10x. I also remember with the 8x56 conquest review when the photo of an 8x SLC 56 was clearly a badly photo shopped snap of another slc HD model. Thanks for the correction gents.

    I could have saved you some time if I'd known you were debating my fallibility!

    NL >=50 mm versions?

    A couple of interesting things to note here. If you look back to the El for example Swarovski actually slightly increased the Fov between the '42 at 112m @1000 to the '50 at 115m @1000. You would generally associate a larger objectives with a narrower fov for a given magnification - especially...
