It´s ok, Ron. Perhaps someone else has the ability to upload a picture of the other side ..?

There is a quite accurate photo of the other side of the ED50 on the Nikon site here (click on the image to enlarge it a bit):

If the image correspond well with reality, I must say that it´s actually quite nice! I think I may wait to create me an idea of the look until it has been delivered.. :eek!:

I´m in shock. Just got a text message saying that the package containing the ED50 is already here. Incredibly fast delivery!

All optics should be black, except for the lenses. No gold logos, just raised black rubber that says Nikon etc.

My cameras also should be black, I dislike silver.

For you, maybe green if it matches your outfit.

I have now picked up the package. It was surprisingly large, but the cause of it was, of course, that the scope was so carefully packaged. When I opened it I could scarcely believe what I saw. I had expected a small scope, but not so tiny. Not as plastic as I expected, either. I´m also pleased with the grey colour. I think it´s nice in gray, quite delicious, actually. The focus is smooth and optics are brilliant. Suspect that I can live with this little thing in the future .. :-O

Congratulations, Kingfisher....silly jokes aside, the colour of course doesn´t matter, as we all know. Just wait till you use the ED50 in the field; shortly you´ll wonder how you ever lived without it!:t: P.S. - ask Santa for the 27xw eyepiece. You´ll forget your ED82 is away for repairs!

I tested the scope a bit tonight. Optics are very nice, no doubt about it. The 13-40x eyepiece is really good, but the 27xW eyepiece can certainly be the perfect match for ED50. I also have the 16xW. It´s useful, but the 27xW should definitely be a more all-round eyepiece. Tomorrow, I will test the scope properly in the field. It will be interesting .. |=)|

Now I have ordered a 27x DS eye piece, too. The zoom is fine, but I feel there are a lot of "zooming" back and forth with it. I think it will be interesting to see if the 27x eye piece lives up to reputation ..
