Inquisitor, Gijs,
I have not had a chance to see the new Leica UVHD+'s yet, but I have directly compared the Zeiss 8x42 HT with the Swarovski 10x50 SV and the x42 and x56 SLC's. I found the HT and the big SV to be the finest views I have ever seen, and on about a par with each other - each of them with different strengths ..... The HT it's 'clarity' and the SV it's 'crystalline sparkle' - both qualify for a WOW! in my book. I place the SV slightly ahead because I prefer its handling. :king:
Gijs, I am surprised that you found the new UVHD+ (what with its Ultra FL and HT glass trickery) not as bright as the SLC. I know some rave over its view, but I thought the SLC was rather blah, and was disappointed not to be blown away by the 56mm A-K SLC's ...... :cat:
Chosun :gh:
