Long time reader - and have learned a lot. Finally to the point where I have a question that I couldn't find answered in the search.
What is it specifically that makes specific binos "pop" when viewing in some scenarios and not others? Is it the color and saturation tendencies?
For example - viewing a deer (or bird) laying under a tree in the shade, what are the characteristics of a bino that make that deer "pop" a little more than others?
I have noticed this difference on both expensive and cheap binoculars. And it's not even a Zeiss vs another brand thing as not all Zeiss models are equal in this.
It seems like high contrast is important - but what else? Overall brightness perhaps but I think a brighter bino doesn't always make it easier to see something in the shade.
Color tendencies? Warm vs cool? Green emphasis? Red emphasis?
When I read reviews on new binos like the SFL for example, I'm trying to put what I'm reading into context for a specific purpose.
I quickly get myself confused trying to sort this out in my head. Help! My quest for the perfect lightish 7-8X bino has been a rollercoaster.
