Hallo boys,
I have a doubt: recently, based on albinos review, i bought the 10x42 referred to in the title, and am awaiting its delivery. If what is reported should be true, and should be true also what is reported about the 8x32, my intention to buy also this smaller size is compromised by what albinos himself reported about this model.
Given that what I'm looking for in binoculars is, in order of importance:
- sharpness and brightness of the image;
- flat field;
- sharpness to the edges of the FOV (all obviously related to the price);
given that all three of these characteristics are mentioned by albinos for 10x42, I am afraid that the most critical judgment on these three points referring to 8x32 suggests that the latter may be much inferior to the bigger brother.
Considering that I have just purchased a Kowa BD II 8x32 XD, and I am not at all satisfied with this on any of the three essential points mentioned above, in order to avoid purchasing an item equivalent to this Kowa I ask if any of you own, or have had the opportunity to try, both models of Vanguard subject of the thread, and can you tell me if really the smaller is worse than the bigger or if the difference is minimal.
Thanks for your help (and I apologize if the automatic translator is not perfect ...)
