zeiss makes a supoerlative set of lenses.  I use mine for hunting in the mountains and desert of Nevada with no complaints. For close range whitetail huntin you should be able to seee your buck blink!

I have not tried this model, but I have a pair of 10 x 40's that are over 35 years old.  I have use them hard, have no complaints , and have not found any that I thought were better.

No experience with that model, however, have never looked through a pair of Zeiss bino's that were not stunning.
Having done so much, with so little, for so long, I can now do anything with nothing.

I have a pair of Zeiss 8X30, they are great Binoculars.  They are perfect for hunting wooded areas.

I prefer Swarovski because the support after the sale is unbelievable and for as long as you own them.

Always been happy with my older Zeiss 10x40's, especially in open country. Have another pair of Zeiss 8X30's that I picked up a couple of years ago. They only offered them for a short while as a price point product($400)but I bought mine from a pawn shop. Smaller than full size but not compact, light weight and very clear. Great for hunting in thicker areas. Believe they were made in Hungary, not Germany. Hard to find but worth the effort.

Nothing wrong with good Zeiss binos.  I just picked up a set of Swarovski 8x30 CL and couldn't be happier.
