Re: TMB 40 mm Paragon: First light!

Sorry--I don't have a 41 Panoptic. The closest I can come to it is a 35 Panoptic, which before I got the paragon 40, was probably my "most used" e.p. I would rate the Panoptic at about a 44-45/50. The eye relief in the pan 35 is a bit TOO MUCH for my tastes, and the occasional blackouts always annoy me. Even tho' I am a glasses user, I don't observe with them. I prefer to get my eye down and enjoy the better f.o.v. Finally I am not as picky as some users re: pincushion distortion, but the TMB is FAR superior in this area.
