Keeping with the other Meopta products I tested, the Meostar HD had higher apparent contrast than the SLC neu, and provided a saturated, colorful image. The other difference came in CA control. The Meostar HD showed less CA, including NONE in the center of the field, and only slight amounts at the edge. This was quite impressive. The Meostar HD offered the SLC neu’s view with an improvement in CA control."<a href="http://www.rokslide.com/2012-01-09-05-09-42/optics/251-meopta-meostar-b1-10x42-hd-binocular" target="_blank">http://www.rokslide.com/2012-01-09-05-09-42/optics/251-meopta-meostar-b1-10x42-hd-binocular</a></blockquote>
