I mentioned recently about the excellent body armor on the MHG. I’ve been using mine for over 2 years. The rubber armor on the body doesn’t show any fingerprints or smudges, doesn’t attract dust, no spots look worn on the body and no peeling. It still looks almost new. IMO the rubber armor is high quality.I don't find the build / focus quality quite as far behind alphas as Beth perhaps does, I think it's pretty good and mine is holding up really well despite a ton of use (ie, anodizing/metal parts maintaining color, armor not peeling or patina-ing, eyecups and focuser still flawless).
It’s only the rubber over the focus wheel that failed on my bino (came off completely). I still keep using it this way. I still have to buy a second binocular. I’d like to give the SFL 8x30 a try.
