    Is the Zeiss SFL 8x40 worth the difference in price over the Nikon MHG 8x42?

    Was gonna make a joke re being sure not to drop my binos in creek and leave in frig before going out birding. Got to thinking of days from past doing that thing we’re not allowed to discuss and thought this test not too wild, maybe.

    Is the Zeiss SFL 8x40 worth the difference in price over the Nikon MHG 8x42?

    Dennis, were you writing to me? Why? The post, (mine) you copied in #46 infers that. For the record, that was an attempt to try and keep you straight, put published data alongside, your hyperbolic adjectives that distort, overstate, so folks have a reference to hand, to compare how/what you...

How many differing light conditions to know for sure or figure out things? Hardly better than the result of "try before you buy"...
