Hello All,
I am thinking about getting a pair of 10x42s, and I am leaning towards the SFs. So, I have a couple of questions for 10x42 SF users specifically, but I'm sure 8x42 SFs users will be able to intelligibly contribute as well.
Do you think that the extra wide field does actually help you get more birds over the already wide fields of the SFs competitors? I'm receptive to the notion that their extra wide field contributes a more immersive view, and that alone is worth considering the SFs over the competitors regardless of whether or not they actually get more birds. But I am curious if people think that it actually makes them more effective.
Do you think that the balance of the SFs actually contributes stability? Or comfort? If they are more stable or more comfortable, do you think that allows you to see more birds or details of birds?
How flat would you describe the field?
If you have had them for a while, how are they holding up to wear and tear?
I just really started digging into the differences in 10s and the Zeiss has emerged as an apparently very clever design. I'm trying to figure out how clever that design is in actual use, and how those unique features translate into user experience, specifically if they actually get you more birds or more detail.
I've read scopeviews and allbinos. I would gladly try before I buy if that were an option.
