It seems the first SF 32 arrived in Switzerland this week – I received my pair of SF 10x32 yesterday. I'm posting this here because there seems to be no SF 10x32 thread so far. Because I ordered them without testing I'm of course bound to love them. And I think I love them! I had a 'wow' experience when I first looked through them and I never had that experience when I looked through a SV 10x32. But well, of course everything is deeply psychological (confirmation bias) because I decided to love the SF and not the SV. Nonetheless, I think I cannot see the blue ring around the outer FOV that Jan describes for the 8x32. When resting the bins on my thumbs, they are clearly heavier on the ocular side (the objective side is clearly longer). Yes, I see the "narrow band where the sharpness softens just a fraction before recovering again at the edge" that Troubador describes for the SF 8x32, but I got used to it after a few seconds. The balance of the SF is striking, both in the hands and hanging around the neck, and the feeling of immersion in the FOV is fantastic.
Disclaimer: The only other alphas I own are the Dialyt 10x40 B/GA T* that I bought exactly 30 years ago. I waited until I found the best binoculars that are even lighter than the Dialyt. Now I believe I found them and together we will live happily for the next 30 years!
After all, I think everything pretty much boils down to personal preference for a brand. 30 years ago we discussed forever about 'Zeiss vs. Leica'. Now we have Swarovski in addition, plus maybe Nikon (and Vortex?), which is great. I hope all those brands of alpha binoculars will survive Corona and the following decades.
