    FOV figures is one thing, but how much is usable? Above 65°ish AFOV it might be restricted with eye glasses. The claimed 70°+? AFOV in the Zeiss Harpia didn't make me any happier for example... Not sure if 50mm is the right way to go when the trend is downsizing? Zeiss made some 45mm bins in...

    For low light viewing the exit pupil will probably be the limiting factor. AK prism might give 2% higher trasmission. Whereas the exit pupil is 44% larger in a 10x42 vs a 12x42. More mag will compensate to some extent for the decrease in eye resolution at low light but not sure how much. I...

    Thanks for the soap-explanation. I thought the soap was some Corona-related thing.

    Anyone tried them in person yet? Swaro seem to have sent out "secret" packages to a bunch of "random" persons...I guess at least someone here should have got a pair? Similar ergo to the Zeiss HT it seems, which is a good thing. Eye cups look shallower and better for eye glass wearers...
