Some very interesting comments here regarding the quality of the HG and HGL.......although would be good if someone could clarify the actual difference and what the L means?
How do you think these compare with the Zeiss 10x32 T*FL ? The Zeiss cost twice the money. I know they are a fabulous bin but curious as to whether the additional cost is worth it.
I'm a great fan of Nikon (8x32 SE) and in particular the smooth focusing. The Zeiss FL's do get fabulous write ups but could the Nikon 10x32 HGL's still be the better choice?
Can I add to what Vespobuteo has said.
The letter L appears on the front label and it's 695g in weight - about 100g lighter than the earlier model.
As l said l an earlier post I had the Nikon 8x32 HG and bought a Zeiss 8x32 FL to replace it. After a period of using both side by side I sold the Zeiss which I found to be insipid in colour rendition compared to the Nikon HG plus. I retained those for about another 5 years before they were replaced by Nikon 8x32 EDG's.
There is review of the same models I had on
and I very much concur with that.
They are quite different types of binocular so I do suggest that you try to test both, preferably side by side. At the current price for the L model they are exception value for money.
