No ED glass. The Habicht's 8x30 are a little sharper on-axis especially IMO and the 8x32 SE's will give you a flatter field and better edges.

I fully agree with you that the Nikon EII is, as they say in German : "ein hervoragendes Sammlerstück".

For me the Nikon is easier to use if you are using it in woodland and adjusting the focuser more often. The wider field is also better for spotting birds. Color fringing is a non issue in my opinion for both binoculars. You don't need to own both, it is just an indulgence if you like nice binoculars.

NO, JAMES!!! Don't make him tell us. If he does, he'll probably have to kill us. Boy, I hate when that happens!

Thanks. Not earth, but I'd be in violation of the TOS if I told you where I was so we'll have to leave it there, but I may continue the story on Ruffled Feathers.
Best Wishes for a Healthy and Prosperous New Year!

Same to you!
Just curious, but if your New Year is prosperous will you be getting an SF? I wanted to be the first person to ask that!

Yes ..... but the 2016/7 8×32 SF !!!! ....... :smoke:
If Brock (welcome back!
is selling the beloved Nikons, then he's either been abducted by aliens and brainwashed, changed religions (pastafarian?! ) or had an epiphany and finally seen the light! 3Looks like some financial scrambling and rationalization going on long term to finance that new SF ........ :cat:
Chosun :gh:
Ps. Brock ---- if your 10×35 EII needs a new home ..... let me know
Sure he is. That is why he is selling his EII. He is finally giving up porro's because he realizes roofs are superior. He meditated with the Tibetan Monks and finally realized the truth that porro's are dead. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.Same to you!

Too late. It already has a new home in Arizona with Bruce H. I did not sell the EIIs (still have one 8x) because I had a conversion experience like you-know-who, I still prefer Porros. However, due to racking up thousands of dollars in vet bills (which are still ongoing) at a time when my income shrank due to austerity measures by a new publisher, some "luxuries" had to go. I have other bins that I will be selling, all Porros because that's all I own.
