Both fine binoculars. Really a matter of personal taste. You can't go wrong with either. Just test the focus on the Swarovision. If you really like a smooth focus and glare control is important to you and you like a big FOV and you prefer a lighter feeling binocular get the Zeiss SF. The Zeiss 8x42 SF does have a noticeably larger AFOV than the Swarovision 8.5x42.<a href="http://www.greatestbinoculars.com/allpages/reviews/zeiss/zeissvictorysf8x42/zeissvictorysf8x42.html" target="_blank">http://www.greatestbinoculars.com/allpages/reviews/zeiss/zeissvictorysf8x42/zeissvictorysf8x42.html</a><a href="http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=301412" target="_blank">http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=301412</a></blockquote>
