    SFL or Trinovid/Ultravid?

    Touché😛 I hope they will loosen up a bit, I’ll buy the opticrons covers if they don’t.

    SFL or Trinovid/Ultravid?

    Well, ladies en gentlemen. I tried the SFL 8x40 and I am pretty blown away to be honest, the (natural) color‘s, the sharpness etc. are great. The CA is also less compared to the GPO ED, and the focus wheel is easier to use in my opinion. Sadly no Ultravid HD+ in store to compare the two.. But...

    SFL or Trinovid/Ultravid?

    Yep, and the law of diminishing is also a thing at this price point of course, but that will count for both bino's. Ah, I was not aware about the coatings, thought they would maybe last like 5 years or so, lol. I agree, and it also depents on how careful the bino's are treated of course. It's...

    SFL or Trinovid/Ultravid?

    Haha my apologies, I hope they won't kill me for this :p Ah I see, they are both premium products, but there is a big price gap between the SFL and Ultravid ( like 800 Euro's at the moment). So I thought maybe there is a quality difference in optics or build if you look at that price gap...

    SFL or Trinovid/Ultravid?

    Nice comparison, thanks! I haven't tested the models yet, but it are really promising pros of both. And also the reason why I can't really decide yet which one is the best for me. But because of the Leica build, it is a potentional end game bin for me, I wonder if the SFL will last like 10 to 20...

    SFL or Trinovid/Ultravid?

    Thanks for your input, that's something to consider indeed. Never really tried the Zeiss SF because it is beyond my budget, it's a game changer if the optics in SFL can compete with the SF and Ultravid ( the SFL is 1600 Euro's vs Ultravid HD+ is 2400 Euro's here in the Netherlands, and the SF is...

    SFL or Trinovid/Ultravid?

    Hoi Gijs! They are really well build, especially for this price point. I'm searching for better optics ( in the range between 1k and 2.5k euro's) because I experience quite a lot chromatic aberration on the GPO's (which gives me a headache if I use them for too long). And maybe even a better...

    SFL or Trinovid/Ultravid?

    Hello! I'm about to buy new bins (8x42) to replace my GPO Passion ED (8x42), I wonder how the quality of the glasses from SFL (8x40) compares against a Leica Ultravid or a Trinovid. I know the Leica's are build like tanks, but I'm not sure about SFL's build quality. They need to last at least 10...
