I was very prejudiced against the 8.5x42 SV after having used the 8x32 SV for more than a year. I put the 8.5x42 on a tripod and found a very different image. That´s why I now really want to know if Swarovski changed anything in the 8x32 recently and why I appreciate High North´s observation.  I´d expect anyone with decent eyesight, a tripod and an older 8x32 SV to pretty quickly see what the Absam ring is about. It´s not a paranormal phenomenon. That doesn´t make the SV 8x32 a bad glass.</blockquote>
