Hello all. I have been looking through reviews of Swaro and Zeiss binos on your site. I have noticed that bird watchers have very good knowledge of binos and have more detailed reviews compared to your average hunter.
I currently own Meopta Merostar B1 10x42 HD and Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32. I bought the Zeiss for bowhunting and love them. They are compact lightweight, crisp, clear, and have good low light transmission.
I am about to sell my Meoptas and upgrade to higher end binos. I have been reviewing the Zeiss Victory HT , the Swaro EL/SLC and Leica Ultravid HD Plus in 8x and 10x, 40 and 50 mm objectives.
I am looking for low light transmission and clarity first and foremost. I need to be able to study deer 30 mins to 1 hour past official sunset. I was in the tree last night 45 mins after sunset with a full moon and my Zeiss just couldn't do it. I made out the deer fine, but being able tell what was on its head not so much.
I appreciate all of your input.
