Glad you enjoyed your trip, and the Habichts. I haven't been to Yellowstone in years. Did it feel overcrowded to you? All the famous parks seem so to me now, until/unless you get out into the backcountry.
I still suffer from incurable porro nostalgia. A while ago I tried both the Habicht 10x40 and Nikon SE 10x42 to see what a porro could be like today, and was surprised not to really like either. The Habicht was lovely but fussy to use, stiff focus and tunnel vision. The SE was nice but the view just didn't win me over.
I had the 10x42 SE and wasn't overly impressed - a bit too much kidney bean blackouts for me and a bit too warm but still a very fair piece of glass. I would like to try the Habicht 10x40 at some point, but I also acknowledge its not for everyone. Seems like others on this thread refuse to have anyone say anything bad about the Habicht.
