I hope to get to the Birdfair (or whatever it is called now) in July with a view to maybe an SF, SFL or NL.
But the Habicht 8x30 stay. I do think some of the criticisms are overstated. I wear glasses and just fold down the eyecups so not a problem. Focuser a bit stiff but, after much use, not bad and very smooth with not much movement required unless focusing very close. Edge to edge sharpness is actually good horizontally though huge fall off vertically. The centre is very sharp and the resolution of detail high. And I love the view (maybe I'm just not very discerning).
And they are lightweight, comfortable to hold and a whole lot cheaper.
Apart from the eyecups, what's not to like?
