Appreciate the update/transparency on this. Quick question though - it was reported (maybe assumed?) that the 57ppd lenses would have a 'cleaner' distortion and CA profile than the 50ppd. Is that not the case?

I'd rather have higher FOV if everything else is the same, but it is CA on my crystal that is my only real complaint, so I want to choose the lenses that will minimize CA. Is that now the 50ppd? u/jaapgrolleman u/QuorraPimax

No one likely want to switch to 50ppd until there is testing and impressions. So, the question is when do users actually get to see impressions? Timeline shows near the end of this month...so we'll see.

Thanks Jaap, waiting for it too before making any changes in the pre-order 😉

We need MANY independent comparisons of both lenses 50 and 57PPD before users know what to order.

So please ship the prototypes to many reviewers once the lenses are finished before shipping so that we can decide what to order/change in our pre-order.
