Hi,
I want to ask what is the difference in resolution, contrast, brightness between these two binoculars. I know that they are top rood and porro model, is there a difference in the 3D view and clarity? if you have to take only one bino which is to be- swaro sv 10x50 or habicht 10x40 wga? And how they compare to zeiss ht/sf 10x42? Thanks!

I have had a very short time of comparison between my 10x50 SV's and the 10x40 W GA's, but my initial observations are HERE.

I truly need much more diverse glassing activity to confirm what I see, but others with much greater experiences will hopefully chime in. Bottom line, I believe you are correct...they are both top tier in their class of optics! :t:

The perception of sharpness is higher in the habicht although the swarovision has very high contrast impression
I have both in use and both have their strenghts
 
Is it true that habicht 10x40 wga is sharper than sv 10x50? What is the difference and in which aspects habicht 10x40 is better than swaro sv(maybe 3d effect is here) and in which swaro sv 10x50 performs better?
