[QUOTE="Sandy Leng, post: 3246646, member: 105926"] Before laying down the cash for my 8x42 HT's I made sure that I had tried all the top Alpha bins. I am lucky that I live near the excellent Focus optics near Coventry where they let you loose on their little nature reserve with a range of bins to try. The SF hadn't been released when I bought my HT's so I also am looking forward to a HT/SF comparison. I am very pleased with my choice, and the SF would have to be something very special for me to spend the extra to upgrade. The one area where I think the HT excels is in poor conditions, such as a dismal winters day, or fading light approaching twilight. My guess is that the HT with its better light transmission and Abbe Konig prisms will come out on top against any other 8x42 Alpha when the light is poor. Looking forward to your SF/HT comparison Lee Sandy [/QUOTE]
