It's very interesting reading the Allbinos review and comparing it to that on Binomania - you'd think they were reviewing two completely different products. Is that down to "sample variation" or more likely "reviewer variation"...?
My opinion runs slightly toward Allbino’s review.
I currently have a new pair of MHG 8x42s and I don’t hesitate saying they are clearly superior to the 8 x 30s.
To be clear, I think the 8x30s are very nice bins that will exhibit ghost images and flare, probably because of baffling issues as cited on albinos. The larger MHGs don’t have these issues. The bigger MHGs are sharper and focus quicker and have an even friendlier view with and without glasses. Frankly, they’re pretty amazing for their price point (I paid under $800) and are my current faves
