You could be right and it could be a myth but we are both just guessing as if there were any changes made without dissecting the binocular. No, I am not sending you mine to dissect. Swarovski, is the only one that knows for sure.Dennis's Post #79 demonstrates perfectly why the myth will never die.
Really! You like it that much.Honestly, the purpose of this thread is to extol the virtues of a binocular by its' owner, as it is necessary for any such binocular to be regarded as ''the best'' or ''flawless'' [by popular opinion]....or else it goes back to the auction site.
I've seen this movie more times than I have seen Star Wars.
Honestly, you kind of have to be a Zeiss Boi to own a Terra. There are many less expensive binoculars that outperform it. But I CAN understand wanting the brand name and the support and recognition that go along with it and they are a solid binocular. Honestly, the thing that turned me off about the Terra is how DIM or NOT bright they are! I am just can't tolerate a binocular with less than 85% transmission. I figured being a Zeiss they would at least be pretty bright. I didn't expect HT or SF bright but it shocked me how dim they were!"For example, my lowly 8x42 Terra can handle this sort of situation without a hint of any glare".
James, I know you like Zeiss and so do I, but the Terra?

It looks about the same as the SV 8.5x42.Best I can manage to capture. I`ll try again outside if I can.
Unless the interior of the 8x32 is much different...
...which kind of begs the question - which binoculars do you favour in this situation, and which others have you tried that also perform well?

Hmm...can we in fact assume the 10x32 and 8x32 are similar internally?
Denco - any chance you could take some shots of your 8x32 FP?

IMO, pic one isn't that challenging for glare - sun is low and weak and seen head-on. Glare, flare etc., in my experience is bad when the sun is off-axis and there is a lot of brilliant scatter.
For example, my lowly 8x42 Terra can handle this sort of situation without a hint of any glare.
