The field of view is nothing special at 125m at 1000m although I don't get the impression that the view is claustrophobic. Close focus is an impressive 1.6m although I could focus to about 1.4m which is excellent. More on this later. When we measured the close focus distance for our test unit, we found that we still had sharp resolution of details at 4.7ft (1.4m). If it was anything lower, we would reject it for being not suitable for users wearing eyeglasses. We tested these with an eyeglass on and it performed quite well. We found that for most users, these eyecups and eye reliefs will feel very comfortable to use, and these pair of binoculars, provide an exceptional value. How is the Focus wheel? We tested the close focus distance of both the 8×42 and 10×42 variants. It was even better than the advertised 5.3m feet, around 1.6 meters but that could be due to product variations. Most people consider the close focus of 1.8 meters to very good, and below 2.4 meters to be used for birding, these units performed noticeably better than the alternatives. Testing the Light Transmission Schott is sometimes referred to as "a sister company in the Carl Zeiss foundation," so it might seem somewhat natural for Zeiss

The rainguard fits deeply over the eyecups such that it does not dislodge accidentally, the right setting, unless you have marked it. A simple line drawn with a Sharpie or a dot of nail polish would do it. The eyecups adjust with the We recommend these compact binoculars for bird watchers, nature enthusiasts, sports enthusiasts, and hunters.

with other binoculars in this price range, and it carries both the Zeiss name, and the support of that respected optics company. We don’t think Zeiss has wheel from close focus to infinity. It's also worth noting that, while it can take a brief bit of practice with the faster While holding a binocular of 8X or 10X or greater up to the eyes, the hands unavoidably have a small amount of movement. The We expected the binocular to be well-balanced and not prone to "wobbling" when viewing for extended periods.
The only major difference that stood out immediately to me was the amount of visible CA. The Nikon had virtually zero in the sweet spot, and slightly more towards the edges. IMHO I think that people who are really sensitive to CA would be very happy with them. On the other hand the Zeiss had a small to medium amount of CA in the sweet spot, this increased quite a bit towards the edges. If CA doesn’t bother you, you’d be hard pressed to justify the extra dollars for the Nikon.Zeiss makes a point of noting that the Terra ED binocular design uses the Schmidt-Pechan prism. We suppose this is noted to Designed by Zeiss" is written on the focus wheel of the Zeiss Terra ED. "China" is stamped into the body material beside Measured by us amounted to 6.40 +/- 0.04 degrees and it was a tad wider than stated in the specifications. A large field for this class of equipment.
You can easily wipe the external lens surface using a soft cloth that comes included with other accessories. With the tightly sealed housing, internal fogging would be a nightmare. If the internal lens is fogged up, it would mean zero visibility, you cannot clean it yourself, and getting it professionally cleaned wouldn’t help either as it would get fogged up again. several other binoculars in the same price class. Minimum close focus for both Terra models is a respectable 5.3 feet, which
