    The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars

    Yes well, Passion - Affliction.... Such a thin line. Stuff you can't afford? Or stuff you don't need? Just cuz, is not always a just cause.

    The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars

    As one, I recognize BF serves as a place for recovering (as distinct from recovered) gearheads. Surely not all, but many of us hang here for reasons a bit beyond buying a binocular for birding. Just to be clear...It is after all called Birdforum and we are the bino sub group... Just sayin. In a...

    The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars

    As a recovering gearhead doing my most earnest to find utility and avoid "just cuz" purchases, if I were going to read all the 7X fandom here and let it move me, UVHD+ 742 or Retro 735?

    The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars

    At the At the risk of sounding really dumb.....forward is towards the objective - right? If you stood that row of binos up on their objective ends the SFL 40 and 30 will drop further... ah.... forward/down and the focuser will drop even lower relative to the red line. The 30 being the most...

    Not to go on, but seems the focuser isnt that much forward on the 30s.... At least it doesn't look that way in photos and others have commented. You still see it that way?

    The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars

    To my mind its more than FOV Paul. As the guy who's consistently challenged all the love over "super wide" FOV and ended up buying the NL, there's more to the package than that. I get in these discussions we struggle to make a point but too often in so doing we lose sight of the more complex...

    The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars

    Canip, Not being said in these lovely reviews, but to my mind as I read, a question is at least inferred. In the excitement over many weeks of postings about these first coming, and now here 30s what about the SFL 40s? The SFL 40 is so nearly equal the size and weight of the SF and NL 32s...

    Happy to help, but you dont need any! Was thinking to put a link to the actual posted review opposite the title to facilitate folks coming and seeing the whole, looking for a favorite comparo, and going to it easily.

    The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars

    Canip, quick question. In these various comparisons, dont think you've discussed this much, others have. Looking at the above photo, the focuser seems in a weird place for easy, comfortable use. Seems like with my size large, 9.9ish hands this might not work so well. Thoughts?

    Holger, re this: I have the same question. As well, was "Merlitz Distortion" used on the SFL40s to? Thanks Tom

    Henry any chance you might be able to sketch this, Please? I sorta get it, but am not sure... I fear any back and forth with words to clarify might make things worse... Thanks Tom

    Canip, thanks for the above. Any chance you've made a similar chart for the 40-42s?
