Hello,
I'm trying to find information about the 7X42 format, I love it, I had a Carl Zeiss Jenoptem from the old 7x50 years ago, it was very bright, it turned the image towards yellow, very warm tones, I never bothered, the position of the eye in the eyepieces It was very comfortable, not black out, with a reasonable weight, 7.1º from the field ... the distant birds looked tiny, it was a 7X, but the close ones showed them very well, during the day they were very very bright and at night sometimes I pointed them at the stars, they were also very bright, sometimes they were even "too bright" giving a fairly clear sky background, but under a dark dark sky I saw all kinds of nebulae and star fields .... it is a format that always I loved it ... I don't know if the 7x42 can come close to those impressions with the 7X50 ...
Maybe someone who has compared them or has a good 7X42 could comment ..
I know there are some good Leica 7X42 (I think there is a Trinovid and some HD ..), a Zeiss Victory FL * T and some old Swarovski ..
Of these there is a model that is better for "non-spectacle wearers" (not too much eye relief so as not to cause black out)
Kind regards and thanks in advance.
