8x42- Nikon Premier vs Meopta meostar (1 Viewer)

308CAL

Well-known member
These 2 are around $1000 and was curious if anyone has compared them directly?
WHich one is brighter?
Better contrast?
sweet spot/edge sharpness?

let me clarify, i won the meopta and like them but wonder if the nikon would be an upgrade?

I would lose some FOV
Both are silver mirror
the Premier might have better ergos and is lighter
premier constrast and true edge to edge sharpness is something im curious about although the meopta has a large sweetspot as well

the meopta handles stray light extrememly well, does the Nikon? i have glare,reflections or haze when looking towards the sun

THanks
