    Well, of course you gain some FOV by going from 8.5x to 8x. I am not a fan of 8.5x power. It appears to be nice, but when I want 8x, I want 8x and when I want 10x, that's what I want. At this point I am trying to decide if I want to stay with the 8x format or get a 10x56 to try something...

    That is an interesting read. I am trying to decide what to do, replace my 2008 Swaro EL with a Zeiss SF 8x42 or keep the 2008 EL and get an additional SLC 10x56 - are these available for sale in US now? I heard they weren't circa 2014. I think there is only so much you can do with the 8x42...

    I understand the point that the bigger the objective, the more light it gathers, the brighter the image is.

    I really like the 8x42 format, not sure what I gain by 8.5x. If I want power, I will jump directly to the 10x Zeiss 8x56 FL does seem like an interesting proposition.

    FWIW, I am thinking about upgrading from 2008 8.5x42 EL to the 2014 vintage SF. 8x42
