They are both high transmission binoculars >95% so they both give you that wonderful sparkle in the view. The Habicht has better 3D than the Zeiss HT and to me better contrast and if you want a smaller, lighter more compact binocular the Habicht is the way to go. The Habicht 8x30 W to me is the best porro I have ever tried and used and will give most alpha roofs a run for their money. The Zeiss HT on the other hand is a superb roof prism with it's AK prisms and I would definitely try it and compare it to the Habicht yourself.</p></blockquote><p></p>
