[QUOTE="Tesoro, post: 1422657, member: 44340"] I did some more reading and a consensus in the bird world is that the new Zeiss Victory 10x42 SF is 'the one' vs the EL and Leica. But they are all so good that it can boil down to personal preference. [SIZE=14px] Notes I picked up: -Z has more fov than the El [/SIZE] -Z is better balanced for extended hand holding as zeiss changed prisms in the SF to make it more rear weighted. It feels lighter than it is. -Z has better placed focus knob and more ergonomic to hold -Z is lighter -Z has faster focus control -Z has better warranty. 5 years unlimited damage and lifetime for defects. -El has .5x more magnification at 10x than the others -El has slightly flatter field on edges but not really more than the Z and L to make any points. Cost for all 3 is about the same. [/QUOTE]
