Yes, I ended up with the Zeiss 8x42 SF after having the Swaro 8x32 that was not bright enough and had the famous back glare
The Zeiss 8x42 SF also has amazing close focus

Congrats! I’m sure you will enjoy them. For the money the 8x42 SFs are better than the swaro 8x32 optically imo - larger fov and less flare.

Did you compare against the swaro 8.5x42? I never got to try those.

I briefly tried the sv 8.5 but it was to close to my el 10x50 and the SF is so darn wide it’s addictive
