The Zeiss Victory 12x56 B T* isn't likely to be used on a long birding hike but it should be a very nice astro binocular.
Have any of you tried this binocular (Zeiss part #525663) ?
I have used a 10x56 Victory. It is very nice but I prefer 12x and 8x for non IS astro binoculars.
I have the Nikon 12x50 SE and Leica 12x50 BA. They are very nice. The Nikon has a sharper edge of field. The Leica seems to have a little better contrast.
One interesting thing about the Zeiss 12x Victory it has enough focuser travel to let me use it without my eye glasses. It would be nice to know if the Zeiss is sharper at the edge of the field than the 12x Leica.
Thanks,
Rich
