The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars
I compared the Nikon E2 8x30 with the Habicht 7x42 and it is normal for the Nikon E2 to show me details more easily because they have different magnifications.. But the Habicht 7x42 has advantage when it comes to a certain aesthetic sparkle in the fine details. The colors are warmer and pleasant... -
The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars
Thotmosis #244 - I compared but unfortunately not directly. My impression is that they are very similar in clarity overall. Habicht 8x30 may be has a little higher resolution, and E2 8x30 may be a little better contrast Paultricounty #246 - Yes Habicht 7x42 has a slightly larger eye relief than... -
The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars
I dare to say that the E2 is in the center the sharpest 8x binocular which I ever tried on chart resolution (here I also include 8x50's or 8x56's) The resolution and contrast are unreal high, surreal! So when it comes to center clarity, my opinion is that E2 8x30 is at least the same as any... -
The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars
If I had only one pair of binoculars than the NL 8x32 or even better the SF 8x32 is the best choices for me. But if I want to have two binoculars, or more, to cover as many different situations as possible, then I will opt for the smallest possible 8x30 (like MHG 8x30 or SFL 8X30) together with... -
The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars
Yes, another example: Nikon E2 8x30 has edge blur in allbinos tests 73% similar to Nikon MHG 8x30 which has 74%. Anyone who looked through these two tools, at the same time, immediately noticed that the MHG is much more detailed on the edges. Allbinos doesn't talk about a very important thing... -
The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars
I like Dr. Holger Merlitz reviews very much! CL has a smaller field of view 7.6 vs 8.3 so its edge it is sharper but the sweetspot it is about the same. Yes, Nikon has a decrease in sharpness towards the edges but that is very smooth and not intrusive in last 15% of from his larger FOV. But... -
The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars
I feel sorry for you that you are so influenced by the allbinos numbers. Monarch HG 8x30 is a brighter binocular than HGL 8X32 and also a little brighter than the last version of E2 8x30 with new coating. I compared them very carefully side by side, because I had to stay with only one of them... -
The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars
[email protected] Allbinos ranking means nothing to me and to many others. That MHG 8x30 is still underestimated by many influenced by this allbinos very subjective review. I sold my Nikon Premier 8x32, Nikon E2 8x30 and Zeiss 8x25 Victory after I bought this tiny Nikon HG 8x30. If I was going for... -

Yes, and the terms presented by you come from the Latin language bi=two and oculus=eye -
The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars
it is clear that allbinos, when it comes to comparative studies, draws more general conclusions, based on the numbers in the table and not as precise and direct as it would be much more correct and difficult to do. Even if it seems that it has a higher degree of subjectivity, direct comparisons... -
The Zeiss SFL 8x30 compared with select current 8x30/8x32 roof binoculars
So, from your comparisons all are very similar in performance, but the MHG it is still the best from this group of 30's (MHG, SFL, UV, CL) when came to compactness, wider FOV and edge sharpness Size MHG=UV>SFL=CL FOV MHG>SFL>CL>UV Edge sharpness MHG> SFL >CL>UV Thank you for this brief side...
