Agree with Brock about his comparison with the 8x32SE: similar performance (although EII is 10x so bigger image) and less tendency for 'blackout' with the EII; I don't really have a problem with the SE, it's just that the EII is an easier view, and I love them both. Still think the 8x42 HG gives an even easier, relaxing view, but all three are quite superb. Well done Nikon! I might just be at the point where I no longer lust after other binoculars; why look further when I'm already (as Brock puts it) in 'Binonirvana'? Thanks to Bird Forum for guiding me to the divine light of optical contentment...</p></blockquote><p></p>
