Hi Zeiss Victory SF users
I have saved up and I'm now fortunate enough to seriously consider buying a Victory SF 8x42. Currently I'm using a Dialyt 7x42 B and a Trinovid 8x32 BN.
However, I am hoping that some of you could help shed light on the (expected) durability of the armouring and eyecups on the Victory SF.
Is the armoouring too soft and prone to getting a shiny look after some years? (like e.g. Ultravid). Is it too loose on the barrels?
Some reviews point out that the eyecups are plastic/cheapy - is that en exaggeration?
I'm torn between Victory SF and Noctivid.
Thoughts on the SF:
PROS: The balance, FOV, placing of the focus knob, colour (black), weight
CONS: Field-flattener (fear of rolling ball), (durability of armouring and eyecups?), slightly larger size
Also how does depth of field compare between SF and Noctivid?
If there was an SF 8x32 I'd love to try it.
Thanks in advance!
