I've got a 50yr old and a 60-65yr old 7x42 Habicht which are somehow still really good but they have the smaller eyepiece lens structure....obviously nothing like the new model. Still, I have a couple of 70s and 80s 8x30 Habichts which are sharp as a tack. Unbelievable optics. I've been meaning to do a glare test to see if their yellow hue actually reduces the 'Habicht glare'.Re the 7x42 - Did you get the black or GA model? Do you, or could you, use it as a primary viewing instrument? Rathaus</blockquote>
