    Swarovski CL 8x25 vs Zeiss Terra ED 8x25: one more comparison

    David, Glad to hear you found the UV 8x20 impressive. IMO yes you can likely master use with glasses after some practice. As always if possible try to compare side by side with the Curio.

    Swarovski CL 8x25 vs Zeiss Terra ED 8x25: one more comparison

    Great review Javier, thanks. In direct comparison I agree with you somehow the AFOV on the CL 25 seems larger than the Terra even though the specs are listed as identical. I can't explain this either maybe some of our experts can explain this. In bright daylight the CL is slighter brighter to...
