Earlier Habichts seemed (to me at least) to almost have a yellow tinge and I'm wondering if the one you looked through/used had these earlier coatings? I find the latest Habichts to provide a more neutral color palate than my Nikon porros which have the typical slightly warm Nikon color bias. I totally agree with you about the build quality of the Habicht. A cursory exam based on its light weight and diminutive size would imply fragility; however, on closer inspection the build/mechanical quality of the Habicht is simply superb. Albeit in a much smaller/lighter package the build quality of the Habicht is reminiscent of a Prostar, FMTR-SX, or PIF....in short the little Habicht is built like a tank. Steve</blockquote>
