Thanks Pete!

Seems that my question was more difficult to answer than I thought. I spent another ½h trying to get a clear answer but I'm only getting more confused. So my guess this far is that YKSE is right about his (here we go again) "guess" about a more correct AFOV that would be 65°. Then it's just a relabelling of the product from 72° to 65°. And some sellers are still using an old 72° AFOV item specification just to make the product more desirable. Anyone else?

Hi, I ordered a Vixen LVW 42mm 72° from an online shop. It arrived yesterday but there is a 65° AFOV printed on the eyepiece. I've seen this before in other shops mixing 72° with 65°. The item description says 65° but the picture shows 72° and vice versa. Why is it like this? A new generation mixed with an old "in-stock" prooduct? Or is it the very same product just relabeled with another AFOV value? I'm asking because I want to be sure to get a 72° AFOV which would give me a TFOV close to maximum of my C9.25 scope as far as I understand. In my case the online shop clearly says 72° AFOV. Should I return the eyepiece?
