I got an old SLC HABICHT 8 x30 W how do you think that model compares to current mid range binos?

[@tarquinroode3994]

Talk a bit about the pro and cons of coatings fully vs partial and also exit pupil then the video will be more complete, for example I used two similar pairs in terms of magnification but the exit pupil differed between the two and in poor light with ageing eyes it made a big difference. Great vid

He didn't say that even though poro prison is older design you get better value for money with them as they will compete with more expensive roof prosims as they let in more light .olso you get better 3 dimension vision with them
