Re: Zeiss 8x30 B/G vs Zeiss T*FL 10x32 Binocular

I tried a bunch of bins and settled on the 8x32 T*FLs due to their small size and light weight. You can read varying reports on the web, but I critically compared the pair I have side-by-side with Leica Ultravids and Swaros, and preferred the brightness and sharpness of the Zeiss. My main intended use was for hunting, so rugged, small, light, and waterproof, were major deciding factors. I also find I'm more likely to take smaller/lighter bins along when I'm not specifically intending to do any obesrving or viewing. Naturally they work great for astro viewing, within the limitations of their power and exit pupil.
