    Who is still viewing through Victory HT 42s?

    The Zeiss is great but the NL is definitely a step up. I am sensitive to CA and the Zeiss is not as good as NL. You really can see the difference when comparing side by side. The NL is the only binocular I would pick above the HT.

    Who is still viewing through Victory HT 42s?

    The focus wheel on my HT is perfect now after sending to Zeiss. Even smoother than the NL. I guess that’s its other advantage.

    Who is still viewing through Victory HT 42s?

    I bought a new 10x42 NL pure I have been comparing back and forth with my HT and the Reds and pinks are just about perfect in the NL. I love the HT but the colors are not quite as good as the NL. Still can’t bring myself to sell the HT even though the NL is better in every way. The HT might be...

    My HT 10x42 is back from Zeiss service and look and feel brand new. Thanks Zeiss !

    Who is still viewing through Victory HT 42s?

    I traded 10x42 SF ( brand new pair ) for a 10x42 HT. Yes I like the HT that much. They are at Zeiss now getting serviced and can’t wait to get them back.

    So sorry to hear this. I really enjoyed reading his posts. He will definitely be missed.

    Who is still viewing through Victory HT 42s?

    I had the 8x42 HT and loved it. I now have the 10x42 HT and love it also. Mine is in for service right now so looking forward for it to return. I like it better than the SF for the colors and extreme sharpness.

    Zeiss SFL 8x40 versus Victory SF 8x42?

    I use to think the HT was the best but after using the SF 8x42 for awhile now with its light weight and perfect balance I could not go back. I sold my NL pure because I love the SF so much and I loved the view in the NL. Not enough difference in optical quality to matter so it came down to...

    Zeiss SF 10x42 dissection

    I agree with everything you say about these binoculars and I just got the 8x42 version and absolutely love it.

    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    Brown headed cowbird in evening sun was just spectacular in my newly acquired Zeiss 8x42 SF.

    Impressed with Trinovid HD

    Better eye relief than it will be the Noctivid. Lol. I love my 8x42 Noctivid the colors just seem to glow even compared to my 12x42 NL.

    Confused: Swarovski, Zeiss, 8x, 10x

    They are getting closer to perfection than ever before. I believe in the next few years that will be achieved at least for some.

    Optical comparison of the 8X42 NL Pure to the 8.5X42 EL SV

    I liked the previous EL for close focus but for me it’s worth the extra money for the NL especially the 12x.

    Trying an 8X42 NL Pure

    Keep both

    Optical comparison of the 8X42 NL Pure to the 8.5X42 EL SV

    You are right about the transparency. It it the first thing I noticed when I got my 8x42 NL.

    Disappointing Leica Repair

    Leica has been great to me. Couldn’t ask for anything better. The same with Zeiss.

    Why can’t I find a store that stocks Zeiss SF?

    That would be an awesome trip. Maybe someday.

    Why can’t I find a store that stocks Zeiss SF?

    I called Time and Optics and explained my situation and am going to plain a day to go there. She said to call the day before I go to make sure they have stock of what I want to see.

    Leica’s design sense…

    All the Leica products are attractive I think.

    Leica’s design sense…

    I have the 8x42 Noctivid in green and it is and awesome binocular to look at and through.

    Why can’t I find a store that stocks Zeiss SF?

    Good point. Then I would have one each from the big three.

    Why can’t I find a store that stocks Zeiss SF?

    This place is 4 1/2 hours from me so that’s not bad. I may have to drive one day to do that. Thanks

    Why can’t I find a store that stocks Zeiss SF?

    Andy, Yes I had the gray version and really liked it but ended up trading it for my APM 100/90 ED Astronomy binoculars. I could hold the Zeiss perfectly still and they didn’t give my any fatigue when holding them up. I love the view in the 12x NL but from memory the ergonomics of the SF were...

    Why can’t I find a store that stocks Zeiss SF?

    I don’t really want to order them than have to send them back if that is what I decide. It’s not fair to the company when they can’t sell it as new.

    Why can’t I find a store that stocks Zeiss SF?

    This is really frustrating. I have been on the phone for an hour trying to find a store that stocks the SF so I can go and compare them to my NL. They stock Swarovski why not Zeiss? I am close to Indianapolis, Indiana so if anyone knows of a place please let me know.
