The Razor HD is a quality binocular but a 315 foot FOV to me is small for a $1300 binocular. I feel it is overpriced for it's overall performance."I wonder how much better detail viewing would be (if any) at dark with the Swaro 10X50 with a 5.0 mm exit pupil and 90% transmission compared to the Zeiss HT 10X42 with 4.2 mm exit pupil and 95% light transmission. I think the Swaro would be slightly better, but there are so many factors (coatngs, color balance, glare handling, etc) that come into play, it would be an interesting side by side test. "I think the Swaro would have too much of an aperture advantage for the superior light transmission of the Zeiss HT too make it any contest.</blockquote>
