Message: <blockquote data-quote="henry link" data-source="post: 3278328" data-attributes="member: 6806">Thanks for reminding me about the poor glare resistance, Sancho. The 8x30 Habicht gave me my very first experience with veiling glare. I couldn't believe a binocular that cost $500 could have anything wrong with it. I forgot to put that on my complaint list, even though I've posted photos of it several times here.Brock,I noticed that the eyecups could be switched, but I wasn't tempted to do that because I preferred the grippier rubber armored body to the leatherette anyway. I even prefer the way the rubber armored versions look, especially now that Swarovski has bling-blinged the fronts with silver birds and big silver letters on the hinge.Henry</blockquote>
