Well, I had a chance to have a quick look through a pair of the 15x50s today. I was thinking of something a little different to complement my small 7x50s and large 22x60s.
I was observing down George Street in Sydney. The first thing I noticed was on axis chromatic abberation. Admittedly I was looking for it but was suprised to find it on axis. The object was a white painted flag pole against the blue sky background.
Slight field curvature and the AFOV did not seem as wide as I had expected since I am use to looking at 46-52 degrees normally. They were very good when looking at low contrast objects but given all of the excellent reviews stating APO performance etc. they just don't seem to better the Fuji 7x50s and definitely not the Tak 22x60s.
I am very impressed with these binoculars and would almost consider buying a pair except for this CA thing. Can anyone else confirm if this is normal?
