Yes, of course, in the end I need to check them out for myself. But can anyone point me at a three way comparative review of current 8*42s from Zeiss, Leica and Swarovski? Plenty of individual 'raves' but there seems to be a reluctance amongst magazines, even web sites, to put them up against each other.
Thanks.
I looked to see if Alula actually did a side by side test of the 8x42s of each of the big three. They did some reviews individually and compared the 8x32 versions but not really the 8x42s. The exception being some limited comparisons between the 8x42 FL and the 8.5x42 EL....at least from what I could find.
Also, though the review is often criticized the Cornell Lab of Ornithology compared these models back in 2005. The link is below.
