    Oh.... and finally, take everthing I say with a pinch of salt, 'cos i'm the idiot who still wants a pair of Habichts even with all their problems😖😁😁

    Is the 8x32 Victory SF really worth almost 2.5x the cost of the 8x32 Conquest HD?

    The other thing you've got to consider is useage. Some folk just will not be happy spending over 2k on bins and taking them everywhere, really using them, (part of that huge expense is the everyday durability and warranties you get). They become too precious, and don't get used. Conquests have a...

    Is the 8x32 Victory SF really worth almost 2.5x the cost of the 8x32 Conquest HD?

    The return is not a lot considering the outlay, but some folk just have to have the best. I tried both and just could not justify the 'more than double' price, but, yes, the SF's were better. I bought the Conquests, and subsequently sold them to a friend!!! I'll bet if I'd splashed out on the...

    Would you rate the HT 42's over the FL 8x56's I've never looked through HT's

    Yeah, Zeiss are awesome with the customer care.... I am a very happy Zeiss customer, and their customer service may well keep me from going down the Leica UVHD route.

    HI Paul, Thanks for taking the time to reply, very much appreciated. I can't get the idea of a Habicht out of my head, but I would need to let my current bins go, and they're just so damn good.. It's amazing that you use NL pures, and are happy to have the Habicht next to them..... what an...

    HI, what was your experience with the two Habichts, both optically, and quality control issues, if any??

    Is the 8x32 Victory SF really worth almost 2.5x the cost of the 8x32 Conquest HD?

    Absolutely..... I have Zeiss 8x56FL and the steady image I can get from those is the best I have experienced. But I am a big chap, large hands, so they work fine for me, although they are a touch heavy, and many folk won't like that, or accept that. But they work for me, and once I tried them...
