For most people it doesn't make sense to spend $2500.00 for a binocular but to those people where price in not an object and they have to have that few extra feet of FOV or smidgen of brightness then go for it. The SF is kind of in a class by itself for a roof with a 442 FOV. Maven or Tract don't make anything with that wide of a FOV. If they did I would be first in line for one. Only some porro's like a Nikon E2 get up to those big of FOV's. The SF is kind of a "Super Alpha" when it comes to FOV.</p></blockquote><p></p>
