Meopta Meostar B1 10x50mm

[Mer19]

Does anyone know if these have the same glass as the Meostar 10x42 HD and has anyone had experience with the 10x50's?
Most everywhere I see them they are not listed as HD as are the 10x42's.
Thank you for your time.

Just seeing this

The HD 10x42, 12x50, and 15x56 have fluorite objective lens elements (hence the HD designation for these models). The non-HD MeoStars have low dispersion glass in the objective, but fluorite is basically the pinnacle of low dispersion glass and gives the best image, resolution, etc.
Brightness, clarity and resolution will be the about the same throughout all, however the HD/ED will have slightly better color fidelity.
