PIER: Are those figures you gave for edge sharpness averages (median)? Or did you check the edges in all directions as Edz did? I'm wondering if he has a "bad" sample or if this "edge shift" is visible in all WO 7x50 ED binoculars.
AREK: Not sure why the Vixen rep told me the EDs were discontinued if they are still showing them in their latest catalog! The reply was in perfect English, so I don't think he misunderstood me, and he pointed out that the Vixen Geomas were the same as the Ultimas, but with rubber armoring.
I searched the Internet for the 9.5X and 10x44 Vixen ED bins, but only found one camera store (Holga.net). I wrote the company, and they said they were no longer available, and today I see both EDs have been removed from their Website. If you find a store that still carries the Vixen ED bins, please send me a private message. Thanks.
Also, Swift used to make a 8x44 ED Ultralite, but that has been discontinued. The frame looks like an Ultima. I suspect the 44mm ED objectives are the same ones used in the Audubon ED, Vixen, and Celestron ED bins.
