Yep, you are right about these things. I experimented with the Denks on the SV102ED (placed on an LXD75 mount). It works by putting one part of the optical correction system before the diagonal. The results were nice, but the magnification is still a little high for real wide field views (little less than 30x). Light gathering for each eye is about the same as a set of 70mm binoculars. The Denks work better on a C8 or our 12.5 Dob. We would use the Denks more for sketching but it eliminates doing things together and demands a lot of standing/sitting that is pushing limits for us.
By the way, do you have any suggestions for other candidate binoculars other than the one you use? I see the need for wider field/lower magnification than the Fujis that we have.
