Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Kingfisher" data-source="post: 1652987" data-attributes="member: 23213">The test completely ignores things like color cast and CA. Why? Because it´s subjective? Or because some do not have the ability to see it?And..I didn´t say that I prefered the view of the Kowa over any of the alphas. That´s your words! What I said was: "I've tried a number of binoculars (Zeiss, Swarovski, Leica, Steiner, Kowa, Kamakura, Nikon, Meopta) in the last week and think Kowa Prominar 8.5x44 XD has the best optics of all."For me Kowa 8,5x44 had the best optics of all the binoculars that I TESTED. That doesn´t include Zeiss Victory 8x56, Leica Ultravid 8x50, Leica Geovid, Opticron HR WP for example..</blockquote>
