Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rathaus" data-source="post: 3450354" data-attributes="member: 132018">I never stated that I was comparing my Habicht 8x30 to my S'vs re glare.My first ever viewing through the 8x habicht was in challenging light and was disappointing and fraught with glare....I persevered and then realised that under most viewing conditions the little habicht possessed outrageous levels of resolution and contrast. It may well be the case that within Ten years from now my own visual acuity will no longer utilise the ultra refinement of the little habicht...and if I need coke bottle, or most any specs they'll be useless to me too. So, re glare control, the SVs are indeed better than the 8x30, but my SVs are on par or inferior to my 10x40 Habicht. Also My canon 10x42 can out resolve various SVs at absolute edge. Plus, there is virtually no pincushion or feeling of oddball field flatteners, which the user does eventually become accustomed to in the SVs.As for SVs having a much 'easier' view than the canon and Fujinon? Honestly? You must be joking. Canons with tripod like IS? and Fujinon with the most light efficient optics ever installed into a binocular, with larger eye pieces than many objectives? Once again, the SVs are great but don't get carried away.Do you have all of these binoculars on a table infront of you now with clear or challenging skies for immediate reference?</blockquote>
