Don´t know the 10x, but the 8x32 unfortunately is very prone to flare and ghosting, that would include bright sky over a dark forest. Many faster models are a better in this respect especially with closed pupil. The 8x42 SLC for example is a totally different beast and IMO has a much better image. I´ll get the 8.5x42 SV soon so I´ll check it out...

The Chicom binoculars are almost as good as the SV, and the second level in the Swaro line is much better. Quite an oddity I must say. :eek!::eek!:3
Ever try the SLC's?
Ever try the SLC's? Better glare control than the SV series, and [to my eye] better apparent sharpness and contrast. My 2nd favourite roof prism, really outstanding transparency.
Seconded. If edge sharpness isn't really important to you the SLC is an excellent choice.
If I were to buy a 42mm Swarovski roof I'd go for the SLC.

Only if short distance doesn't count.

no need for transmission robbing field flatteners.

My SV is one bright SOB.
