Greetings,
Must say the Trinovid 8x42 BA are my first high end binoculars, but the only issue I have run into them is inadequate centre drive limit. They have -4, and I need more like -6 past infinity due to myopia. I can only use them with glasses on, which is difficult for extended periods of time. It's too bad, because Trinovid's eye cups are supremely comfortable.
I don't know anything about Zeiss 8x42 FL other than they have the centre drive limit of -7 past infinity, which would accomodate my myopia just fine, and allow them to be used without glasses.
In US, they seem to be going for about $1,000 on Ebay (vs. $750 for Trinivods)
Are there are things to watch out for, any pros/cons before I make such a commitment to Zeiss 8x42 FL? I hear the new coating is nice. Are they waterproof and just as durable as Trinovids?
How does the picture quality improve?
