The picture is far, bright and contrasty. In his correction of the CA Zeiss is on par with the Nikon EDG and just behind the Kowa, at the edge sharpness, it is about on par with the Swarovski EL, but is beaten by Nikon EDG. Among all the candidates the Zeiss provides the cleanest picture very bright objects in the night (lantern test). The eyecups lock in 4 positions, the dual focuser runs precise, yet accessible, although the over-stroke is concise. The plastic body of the Zeiss has advantages in cold weather, because he feels warmer than many conventional metal housing. Should be noted, the strap with clip closure which can be removed easily. Overall, the Zeiss lies in its optical power just behind the Nikon EDG and is due to its lower weight, a good alternative, on a higher level than the Leica.Here is another review from by Roger Vine <a href="http://scopeviews.co.uk/Zeiss8x32FL.htm" target="_blank">http://scopeviews.co.uk/Zeiss8x32FL.htm</a></blockquote>
