In fact resolution is probably my biggest doubt between this kind of combo and semi-apo binoculars, they certainly share more or less the visible CA, but they probably resolve less per barrel...is out there any thread discussing their measured resolution? Leica televid 65 or 77Kowa Tsn1, 2Swarovski Habitch ST80Pentax 65 or 80ED (probably better placed in this group)I can imagine a few more options, but I guess that their usage will be refrained by the availability of holding brackets and minimum IPD. Is there anyone selling this universal and adjustable brackets or they have to be costum made for each diferent combo?</blockquote>
