SVs, particularly the SV 10x50, are pretty big anyways....True, the SF is slightly bigger but there is a reason for its size---among others, better handling and excellent glare control. Regarding the latter aspect, I have tested the SF 10x42 in very difficult light conditions and there is very little glare, if any (as expected: the SF has no false pupils, unlike the SV that has many); however if you look very close to the sun with the SF then you get a kind of glare ("fire ball"-like) that I have not seen in any other bins---probably because you cannot look so dangerously close to the sun with any other bins....</p></blockquote><p></p>
