I went back to the store where I compared that EDII and Terra and other binoculars. I compared those again and I had the same feeling I had the first time, which I also had when I compared the ED IV to the Eden XP. Focusing is not very precise, i keep turning the focussing wheel back and forward, searching for that sweet spot of sharpness. When sharp it is a very very good product, but with the Zeiss Terra, a very good product as well, I get the image sharp quick. It performs much better in that aspect, and that's why I bought that one, even though I find the view of the ED II and IV better with its very good edge sharpness.I didn't compare the EDIV at the same time as the EDII and Terra, but i didn't found it brighter than the Eden XP and I found the Terra not brighter than the EDII, differences in this aspect are very small.</blockquote>
