check ebay, also volk offers resident prices that are hard to beat like 133.00 for a lens. I would recommend the 28 d lens, you can get farther to the periphery. also don't waste money on a 90d lens just get a superfield, and forgo the 78 and 90 all together.

I used it side by side vs. the standard 90D at the Volk booth at Academy last year. Supposedly, as they advertise, it would let you get a better image through smaller pupils. Using their model eye, I felt that claim was near-facticious.

Also talking to people who bought it, they don't really see a big difference. Not worth the extra expense.

I, in particular, am curious about the Digital Wide Angle. How difficult is the closer working distance to get used to?

Not to sound like a advertisement, but last year I went to every booth at AAO to find the cheapest price for a Volk 2.2 The company's internet site is at www.eye-stuff.com

If anyone knows of lower priced place please let me know!

I have a Digital Wide Field lens and have used the 90 extensively also. I prefer the Digital wide field - for dilated pupils it doesn't matter at all, but for the undilated pupil the field of view is larger. I find myself able to get a stereo view through smaller pupils than with the 90. You hold it about the same distance as a 90, so it's not hard to get used to. If you have a 90 already I wouldn't buy the digital lens but if I didn't have either then I would definitely get the digital unless money was a big issue.

rubensan, not as easy to see through the undilated pupil as the 90, but if you are really going to look dilate, b/c you dont get paid for doing and undilated dfe, hence dilated fundus exam. if the pupil is small but dilated no problems, gives a really wide field also. Have never used the video one that people are mentioning above. I believe aao prices are about the same as the lombart resident prices.
