MJensen,

Good to see you posting here -- it can a bit like sticking your head into the lion's mouth at times though!

To me, flatness of field matters little so I would glad trade better centre resolution for that. Unfortunately, eye relief (I wear glasses) matters a lot to me, so I will by paying lots of attention to that.

In any case, I look forward to checking out the new binoculars -- more options are always better for consumers!
