In principle, they have an excellent resolving power and thanks to the warm tone and the high contrast show good detail. I could do a test with the USAF chart because now my friend use the Kowa 8.5x44. Years ago, I wrote also on binomania.it, I was stunned when a Genesis 8x33   showed 'better  USAF CHART details than a Victory 8x32 FL. The Zeiss SF  is sharp and has a good contrast. You can find difference only  during a  serious confrontation and during different lighting conditions.Ciao!</blockquote>
