What is the field of view on a 10×40 Habicht?

In the case of these 10×40 Habichts, those multi-element eyepieces give a field of about 60°apparent and 6.2°true, which is well up to modern standards, though narrower than Nikon’s otherwise quite similar 10×35 EII porros. The eye cups don’t stand very proud of the eye lenses when folded down, so eye relief is 13mm, for once just as claimed.

What is the difference between the Habichts and the ELS?

· Whilst the field of view of the Habichts is actually slightly wider than the 10×42 ELs, it is very unsharp at the edge, falling off in quality from about 60% width compared to the sharp-at-the-edge ELs. · The Habichts have much less eye relief and so are much less comfortable for specs wearers.
