Zeiss not only pushing the optical-, but also the financial - envelope then. An 8x32 that breaks the £2K barrier!

Was an Absam ring visible Lee...?
I loved the 10x32 SV at first. Then I saw the glare. If the 10x32 SF doesn't have as much glare it could be awesome. I have switched over to EDG's because of the glare in the SV's.It’s not going to be hard for me, i don’t own a 10x.
Yet.

OhWeh...
Lol....Probably...
I found it visible in the 8 and 10x 42 SF...
Just wondering if they ironed it out in the 32...
My guess is it's goin be there with such a massive fov..

Exactly my thoughts, are they that much better than the Swarovski 8x32? I can only assume that they will drop down in price once they reach the shops.
I wouldn't bank on it. If these sell well to those followers of fashion who are financially indifferent to the rule of diminishing returns - as they will inevitably do going by the BF hysteria - then it will set the bar for other marques to use in pricing future new/upgraded models when it becomes apparent just how much birders are prepared to pay to be one of the 'in crowd'. Stand by for a boost to the secondhand market!

The new SF 8x32 will have a bigger FOV than the Swarovski 8x32 and they will probably be better controlling glare since that is the weak spot of the Swarovski and it's somewhat inconsistent focuser. My question is will they be better than the top ranked Nikon EDG 8x32 even with a bigger FOV. The EDG 10x42 beats the Swarovski EL 10x42 and the Zeiss SF 10x42 even with it's bigger FOV so I am not sure the 8x32 SF will dethrone the 8x32 EDG.Exactly my thoughts, are they that much better than the Swarovski 8x32?

I have had both of those binoculars and that is about where I would put them. Everybody has their own personal likes and dislikes and personal preferences but after having a lot of binoculars over they years I find Allbino's very accurate as far as their rankings.They also rank the vanguard 7th and a Leica HD plus 14th. Something is not right here. Lol
