Early Reviews of Premium Roof Prisms

I recently posted about Zeiss’ original series of Victory binoculars, which were made from 2000 to 2006
In doing so, I consulted two sources of then contemporary reviews:

- Steven Ingraham of Better View Desired. For further information see: https://www.birdforum.net/showpost.p...91&postcount=4, and

- Kimmo Absetz of Alula. See: https://www.birdforum.net/showpost.p...0&postcount=20


Steven and Kimmo also did contemporary reviews of Nikon’s premium roof prisms, dating from the early 2000’s
They may be of interest to some in providing perspective as to the rated performance of the binos at the time

The first 3 reviews are from Steven, and the next 3 from Kimmo
