    Habicht for birdwatching?

    How good is that 10x70.... Is the depth of field very good... to not need so much focussing?? How do you rate the optics??

    Habicht for birdwatching?

    What a great answer..... sums it up.... but they are so nice. The last couple of purchases from a shop, and I've walked out with something else other than the Habicht. A couple of months go by.... and I'm like.... I'd LOVE a Habicht.... whats wrong with me!!!

    Habicht for birdwatching?

    This is me all over.... I have the exact same questions.... I've been looking at Habichts for years.... never pulling the trigger.... and never knowing which one to go for if I did !!!.... I guess it's because I don't 'need' one... I love my BN's and my pocket Ultravids.

    Habicht for birdwatching?

    7x42 has a sublime view if the narrow fov doesn't concern you. I guess you just get used to it, and accept that the simplistic design which gives those amazing optics, also has it's draw backs. It's a great bin.... when I pull the Habicht trigger, I have no idea which one it'll be. They all have...

    Habicht for birdwatching?

    You just gotta get on and use whatever you got.... there's a problem with every binocular, a reason to sell it, whatever... I would gladly mooch about with a Habicht if that's all I had.... but I watch nature, more than just birds. My Ultravid 8x20's are just fine, sure they got their issues...

    Habicht for birdwatching?

    Yeah... that aswell.... it's not difficult to sort that looseness out, I'm surpirised Oberwerk let that slip through the net. The rest of the bino feels well made, but those eyecups really cheapen the feel.... shame really, as the optics are very good for the money, if not exactly Habicht neck...

    Habicht for birdwatching?

    I would have to agree there..... just very thick and very uncomfortable.... a strange design I've not experienced elsewhere.
