UPDATE a year later “Are alpha worth it?” How I answered it for me (answering?) Swaro, Zeiss, GPO…Maven

Acuity in generic conditions. I can’t tell a difference. I had no noticeable difference in steadiness, or ability to resolve in the field on a tripod. The light weight of the Zeiss is great in the hand, but I still couldn’t tell a ton of difference.

Is it easier to freehand the SFL's (especially in a still hunting type scenario)? I currently have the 10x EL's and almost get motion sick at times if I am using them free hand(possibly the field flatteners) Maybe I will get better using them, but I'm wondering if the 8x SFL's might be an easier fix. Then carry some 15x or a spotter for glassing from a tripod. Thanks!
