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

    Hi Rainier. Maybe I'm wrong, but, in my experience, increasing the contrast only has an aesthetic benefit (for example, in photographic lenses); but contrast -by definition- increases the difference between light and dark and I don't think that's useful when distinguishing nuances in shadow...

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

    Hi, Reinier, I have kept my CL because it is a gift and its sentimental value is greater than its real value. However, it has aspects in which it is superior -in my humble opinion- to the zeiss terra. After using both for over a month, I find the following: The CL is superior in contrast...

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

    Both measure 85 cm, although the zeiss strap is a few centimeters longer. I don't know if they would be comfortable enough in bandolier style, but I think so.

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

    Thanks, Reinier. Yes, I wrote "much wide" because this was the subjective feeling I got when looking through both binoculars. I know that, on paper, the specifications indicate little difference, but I can assure you that, in practice, the difference is there. If any member of the forum thinks...

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

    Thanks for the comments to Middle River and Will K . Indeed, the technical specifications of the binoculars are published everywhere, but -as the experienced members of this forum usually advise- it is always convenient to try them in hand before making the decision to buy one or the other. In...

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

    Hello to all members of this forum. First of all, please be lenient with my poor English. I am new here and I would like to briefly introduce myself: my name is Javier Vela, I live in Marbella, Málaga, (Spain). I am currently a painter and writer and usually travel by bike through the geography...

    Which one do you always have with you?

    I usually carry a Zeiss Terra 8x25 in my backpack or bike panniers, which has very good contrast and colour, although the diopter knob is a bit exposed to inadvertent movement and the general size of these binoculars is not exactly "of pocket"(IMO). Other days I prefer my Opticron aspheric 3...

    Impresive Leica service for my 18 years old Trinovid 8x20 BCA

    Hello, Milano Real. I will try to write to you in my poor English, even though we are both Spanish. These days I was in the eternal doubt between buying a Leica Trinovid 8x20 (I use to travel by bike and every gram matters) or saving a little more and buying finally the swaro 8x25. I leaned...

    Asking for advice on pocket binocular

    Thank you very much for your wise opinion, Arijit, Grampa Tom, Denco and Fazalmajid. I have followed in this forum the evolution of general opinions about the new Curio 7x21, and I carefully read the tests of Dr. Gijs van Ginkel in THE NEW SWAROVSKI 7X21 CURIO AND OTHER COMPACT BINOCULARS in...

    Asking for advice on pocket binocular

    Thank you very much for your advice, Jerry. I use to take good care of my binoculars and try not to uselessly expose them to water etc., but I was concerned that the trinovids are not filled with nitrogen or argon or some similar gas. The Zeiss are very clear and do not have that "tunnel" effect...

    Asking for advice on pocket binocular

    Hello to all members of this forum. First of all, sorry for my poor English. I am a fan of binoculars, although my experience is not very enriching: I have had and given away several Opticron aspheric 8x25, a Fuji fmtrx 8x30, Celestron Noble 8x32 and I have recently acquired a Zeiss Terra ed...
