I think I want another Habicht, either the 8x30 or the 10x40. I know all about the size and weight differences and so on, so that's an aspect that doesn't concern me at all. I also know about the short eyerelief of both models, and the fairly stiff focusing. No problems there.
However, I want the highest optical quality possible, and I don't know these two models well enough to come to a conclusion on which is better. I know some folks here know both models well, so I'd appreciate some thoughts on how these two models compare. I'm especially interested in glare resistance. From what I've seen the 8x30 has a fair amount of veiling glare, something the 7x42 doesn't have at all. What's the 10x40 like, compared to the 8x30 (and the 7x42)?
