    Should I trade my SW SLC 7x42 Neu for an SLC HD?

    Should I trade my SW SLC 7x42 Neu for an SLC HD?

    Fine binoculars as well, owned a few, they are very nice to look at, but I prefer a bit less CA, when I look in... FL:s are still top-notch in that area. http://www.scopeviews.co.uk/ZeissVictory7X42FL.htm

    Should I trade my SW SLC 7x42 Neu for an SLC HD?

    Thought about a Zeiss 7x42 FL instead? It's lighter at 740 grams. SLC HD is 810g. And 150m FOV vs 140.

    Should I trade my SW SLC 7x42 Neu for an SLC HD?

    You mean the discontinued SLC HD 8x42? The "7x42 neu" has swarobright I guess? So no yellowish cast. A 7x bino is always a 7x....I wouldn't trade my 7x Zeiss to any 8x at least... Some thoughts here: https://www.birdforum.net/threads/would-you-buy-a-swarovski-slc-7x42-neu.361777/
