    I had owned a pair of Zeiss Victory FL 10x42 since shortly after they were released in 2004 (purchased at a local retailer in Massachusetts, USA). A couple of years ago I started to notice a cloudy film forming on the inside of the right objective. I meant to return it for warranty service to...

    8x32 advice?

    I realize I'm asking a somewhat unreasonable question. A revised version might be "Is the SF sufficiently better optically to justify the larger size over the FL and UVHD?"

    8x32 advice?

    I am a first-time poster after absorbing some of the wealth of information on BF, so please forgive me any breaches of protocol. I am shopping for a high-quality 8x32 pair of binoculars to replace my Nikon SEs that have succumbed to a seemingly fatal fungal incursion. I definitely want...
