The Habicht 10x40 ...
If I end up with 7x42 Habicht and find it usefull, I'll probably keep both: 10x40 and 7x42. -

My Habicht sample has a firm focuser, but it's smoothig over the years. It has causado the knob to peel though. -

Yep, I guess lower mag would hep stability. Also DF would come in handy. Sport fiel of view would be not that awesome though. I have to guive a try to the 7x42 -

I've never seen a lammergeier in my spot. They ate reintroducing them back relativelly close by (160 km or so from here, in Gredos) and the radiomarked birds eventually do fly over the plain. Good chances on black vultre and griffon. These tend to roost here, and it's quite often the times we... -

The Habicht 10x40 ...
Regarding the use I make of Habicht 10x40, it's my allrownd use bin. I do quite a lot of birding with it, and that's the reasson the focusers knob green paint is s bit worn out. 7x42 will probably help me out with this, and specially for, let's say, wolf or lynx awaitings. Just guessing, but... -

I just toke a pic to a grifon vultre through the Habicht glass. It was a farely far fliying bird. If you zoom in you get quite a lot of detail. You also get CA, but not suer if it's amplified by the phone lense, or if it's there and I just dont percive it whyle watching. -

I live near Madrid, about a half hour drive from the city, not far from the airport. Good buster & imperial eagle area. -

I'll have to try them out with a tripod. That's awesome! -

It would probably be an interesting comparison in deed. Never had a chance to peek through a 10x42 SE, but have heard nothing but praise and good comments about them. -

Habicht 7x42 would also seem to me a good choice. But I have no experience with them other than a brief look though a pair. Good they were. I will try these at dusk some time in the near future. -

Swarovski habicht 7x42
Last night I tested Swaro Habicht 10x40 taking a picture to the moon. I compared it to Steiner Skyhawk pro. Definitly it's the camera that's putting the CA into it. -

Swarovski habicht 7x42
I believe its caused by taking the pic with the camera slightly unaligned to the bins optical axis. It's also just a bit on the out side of the sweet spot. The camera may also add to the effect. CA is in the habicht, but it only appear to my eyes if I look to the edge. It will only appear in... -

Swarovski habicht 7x42
Thanks for such a complete answer. One of the reasons i got the habitch rather than other models was the fact that for the price they had, performance was great to my eyes. Another reason was I wanted to go back to porro's. Many thanks, Nathan -

Swarovski habicht 7x42
Thanks for your reply. Both are good I guess. 10x40s certainly are. It's got tricky things like some glare in some conditions (you get to see a milky dent in the image), but I like them. -

Swarovski habicht 7x42
Thanks for the fast reply. Waterproof is a good spec indeed. Rainy days are good for watchig mammals. That allways comes in handy. Guess I'll just have to check the FOV and compare it with the 10x40s to make sure it's not an issue. About brightness at dusk, is there really much of a... -

Hi all. First post here in bf. Very interesting thread. Learned quite a lot. I got my selfe a new pair of habicht 10x40 w GA about two years ago. Really happy with them. Quite a huge leap from Steiner Skyhawk 10x42 pro, which I still use eventually, and usted to be my everyday pair of bins (my...
