Hi all, I recently bought Zeiss SFL 8x40s and I love them. However, there are now some ridiculous specials on the Victory SF range (US$1500 equivalent) here in Australia and I'm extremely tempted to get them in 8x42 guise.
I'm looking for straight up optical comparisons between the SFL x40 and Victory SF x42. Optics only. I'm aware I'll have to take a weight handicap if I switch to Vic SF 8x42s. Can anyone comment? I don't mind if you've seen through them only briefly or quite a lot, I just want to know how the optics compare. If your experience comes from x32 models I'm happy to hear that too.
I'd incur a financial hit of around USD$500 to make the switch and I don't want to do it if the optical difference doesn't justify it.
Thanks a lot.
