I considered adding this post to the giant E II thread, but maybe it would be better to start a new one.
For those of you who own or have owned an 8x30 E II, how does it compare to other modern binoculars you've tried, particularly the the Conquest HD and similar models? I'm looking to replace my 8x32 Conquest HD with something a bit cheaper, but hopefully having close to the same optical and mechanical quality. I've been eyeing the E IIs for a few years now, but wanted to get people's opinions before I buy a pair sight-unseen from a Japanese retailer (probably with no return policy). Is the glare control and contrast on par with the Zeiss Conquest and Terra Roofs? Have you ever had issues with fungus inside the binoculars, or collimation? Thanks in advance.
