    What if you like the SFL 8x40 but don't have the budget for it?

    My thoughts exactly. Have a Peak Design Strap with the disk-type anchors for my camera — love it. But I find that particular strap more at home for photography. It would be nice to see the industry adopt a standard that could be used across straps and harnesses. That Australian “Lucky“ Strap...

    What if you like the SFL 8x40 but don't have the budget for it?

    Hi Catnip. I’ve always enjoyed your comparisons and respect your honest reviews. Just have to say that with these two models in particular my eyes see things a bit differently - especially in regard to the quote above. I’ve often questioned Maven’s claimed ~94% transmission rate — it leaves...
