“Great binoculars, but . . .
Despite claims on brightness and clarity, the Ziess Victroy HT and SF are brighter and clearer, and I do not agree with claims that the Swarovski are clearer out to the edge of the field of view than the Zeiss. As a result, the much higher cost is not warranted - if I was harder pressed to make this price point I would be very unhappy. The eye cup adjustment is strange with "almost stops" from too little to too much length requiring too much fiddling to get it just right.
I doubted the claim about the better balance in the hand, but strangely find it true.
So, yes, great binoculars, but not a great value.”
