Thank you sir.
I hate to say I told you so, but……..Sigh. I was able to buy a new pair of the 8x32 SFs from BH who did a price match from another AD who I hadn't done business with. $1999.99, shipped with no tax. Apparently, Zeiss is including a towelette to wipe off the white preservative coating now. Zeiss CS explained it was a preservative for long term storage in shipping issues. I guess I'll find out Friday. I just couldn't pass up the deal. They made a mistake by not addressing this coating until the recent batch.
Sounds like a good deal. I think your going to like Them. I know you have the FL so it’s not going to be much of a different because of how good the FL is. Maybe a little better corrected for CA, but Incrementally Optically a little better.
The real difference that you’re really gonna like is the form factor. They’re not military or industrial like the FL, these are kind of classy and a nice feel and balance. The focuser is like butter, but not too soft and it’s placed in a perfect position on the binocular. Ergonomically they’re great . After you get past how disgusting it looks when you take it out of the box with all the powder, clean it up and then let us know how you like it.
