Zeiss SFL 8x40, A Field Review
Thank you very much @Gijs van Ginkel for the nice report. Are those values in Table 1 measured values? I have doubts about the Habichts 10x40. Is it really have 16 mm of eye relief? I remember someone mentioned the actual FOV of it is even a few meters larger than the FOV mentioned on the... -

That’s the case. The posts so far I read about x10 SFL were not so positive as ones about x8 SFL. It seems everyone buying x8 SFLs. However the situation was other way when Swarovski introduced NL. Most of the posts (at least equal amount) were about x10 NL compared to the x8. And it is well... -

I think SFL 8x40 and NL 10x42 would be a great match. I regret not buying NL 10x42 and buying 8x42 instead. It seems SFL 10x40 is not good as NL 10x42 in terms of CA control and other optical parameters to combine with NL 8x42. -

Zeiss SFL 8x40, A Field Review
Thank you @henry link for your kind reply. I specifically asked about the real-world resolution among the binoculars you mentioned earlier; 8x42 NL, NV, and SF. @Conndomat has also given an answer. I know they have many other differences such as color rendition and contrast and those also affect... -

Zeiss SFL 8x40, A Field Review
@henry link Thank you for the information. I wonder how this sharpness difference affects the real-world experience without using a mag booster. Do you think without mag booster we could see a difference in resolution on the resolution chart? I am sorry for asking basic questions. I am new to...
