422 vs 233 dome question
I have been curious on what are more distinct domeness of the sapphire crystal between 422 and 233. The website states that 422 has 3mm thick sapphire formed of corundum while 233 has 2mm thick sapphire. I only held a 233 up close and have not seen 422 in person. For my fellow WIS, who have seen both in person side by side, can you tell me which has more distinct domeness between the 2? probably also which crystal distorts less or more. Thank you all for the help and knowledge.

Check out how versatile the 233 is with a strap change:

The pam 422 is also sapphire not plexi glass which is a huge plus IMHO.

The 233 is much more domed. In fact I'd say the 422 has gently curved edges rather than a dome shape. You definitely get more distortion on the 233.

the 422 has a very nice "high-rise" crystal...
 but the 233 is dome-a-licious...   Quote:
 I think the only dome I've seen that will top that is the T-39 Superdome of a 1665...
