    Nikon SE and Zeiss SF 8x32 comparison.

    @Patudo Those are clone of the Vixen Foresta Porro and the Levenhuk Sherman Pro (among other).

    Nikon SE and Zeiss SF 8x32 comparison.

    It's always interesting to test yesterday's greatest against todays top dogs. A pleasure to read, thanks for posting, Paul. It's another model, but for the last 3 years I've been doing a "yearly assessment" of the SE 8x32 against my Swarovski 8x32 EL Swarovision. Three years ago I gave the SE as...
