And Tobias saying an 8x32 SV "simply flares horribly" is a huge exaggeration. Your reviews are attractive with all the pretty pictures but you are completely off base on the SV. I have looked through hundreds of binoculars and the SV's don't flare horribly! Too many people the open bridge design of the SV is way more comfortable than the closed bridge of the Ultravid HD Plus also. I also love the tack sharp edges in the Swarovision. Why not have sharp edges? There is no other binocular that is sharp to the edge like a Swarovision and has the easy view when you put them up to your eyes. It is like you are coming home when you look through a Swarovision. No binocular even an alpha is perfect but I believe the 8x32 SV is the best available 8x32 binocular right now. If you can's stand glare get the 10x50 SV. It is like an 8x32 SV except you can see more detail and there is no glare.</p></blockquote><p></p>
