"I'm not as talented in expressing technicalities of optics and how they differ." You are talented at knowing when a binocular is a good one though. I have been using your Trac Toric 8x42 recommendation more than my SV. In fact I am selling the SV 8x32. The Trac pans better without any RB, is more glare resistant, and I really like the focus speed and tension and the eye cups fit my eyes like a glove. Thanks for the advice on that one.:t:

swaro SV's 10x42 vs. 10x50 (1 Viewer)

"SV 10x42 close focus is one of the best at 4.9 ft. SV 10x50 is at 9.2 ft. A huge deal if you want to admire butterflies or the rapidly spreading athletes foot infection on your toes That and the extra weight makes the 10x50 unattractive to me in spite of the optical prowess. You made the right choice."
If you want to look at butterflies or foot infection get a Pentax Papilio. The 10x50 SV is not the proper tool for that.:-O

You just can't sell your EL SV 8x32, its a Bird Forum icon.
As for eye cups fitting like a glove: I think I know what you mean but the picture your phrase creates is unfortunate. What do you do with all the fingers and don't tell me the middle finger is straight up :-O

The Tract Toric instantly moves into the position of ''world's best birding binocular.''
Triple LOL.
Yeah, well at least denco has the cahones' to admit it. Most "alpha owners" (I am one BTW) tend to tell everyone else how perfect they are, even if something is better. An ego thing, ya know? Fact is, nowadays $500 glass can be better than any alpha glass 10 years ago.

No disputing that but Dennis will not have the Tract for long - history has repeated itself about 20 times here....
