Hi,
I recently got a Zeiss 10x42 SF gray model that was bought new in April of 2018. I called Zeiss after I registered it to find out how old it was. I do not see any green cast to the image that others have reported on here and the sample I have has a smooth focus and superb focus snap and sharpness. I have been using it for a couple of weeks now and just think they are great. I went to Cabelas today to compare it with the Swarovski 10x42 field pro and was shocked at how awkward the Swarovision felt after using the Zeiss for a couple of weeks. The view through the Zeiss to my eyes also was more transparent. It also looked brighter and the colors also looked more saturated to me. The sharpness in the Zeiss was also better and that might be why it looks so transparent. I originally wanted the Zeiss 8x42ht because that’s what I loved about that bin but the SF I have also has that beautiful transparent view with the bonus of a wider and better corrected field of view. I am just ecstatic about this binocular and just wanted to share. Anyone that has one has to know what I am talking about.
