Zeiss 8x30 B/G vs Zeiss T*FL 10x32 Binocular
      07/20/08 08:03 PM

A few years ago i picked up a little pair of Zeiss 8x30 B/GA binoculars and they have fast become my favorite binoculars. I also have a pair of Nikon Superior E 10x42 which are also stunning. I am thinking about selling both and replacing with the Zeiss T*FL 10x32 Binocular. Any advice/thoughts ? My intended use is 80% daytime and 20% night sky. I have found the ergonomics of the little 8x30 to be better than the Nikons but the nikons have the edge in terms pure image quality. Most nights when i am observing i tend to have the little TV85 out with me so i don't find the need for binoculars that great. The nikons was my first step into premium binoculars but when i tried the little zeiss ones i found them ideal. Surprisingly i have also found i tend to use binoculars more for daytime i.e wildlife, birds etc.

Cheers
David.
