Be wary of reviews. VERY wary! $100.00 binocular's on Amazon.com have 5 star reviews because the reviewers have never had an alpha binocular. I have had both the Terra and the Victory and there is a significant difference. A good rule of thumb which is better in most cases than all the reviews you can shake a stick at is "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR." LOL.Speaking of the Zeiss 8x25 Victory, I was comparing the specs to the Zeiss Terra ED 8x25, and couldn't see a significant difference. I checked the 23 reviews of the Terra at B&H, and where B&H reviewers tend to be extremely picky, they were extremely favorable to the Terra 8x25.
