Great value - Zeiss Terra ED 8x42mm Binocular 524205-9901-000

Two years ago I read a magazine review of this Zeiss Terra, comparing it to five other, upscale binos. I was impressed with the raters' findings, evaluations and comparisons. The Terra stood pretty tall in comparison with the higher (in some cases much higher) priced optics. I filed that review away in my mind, for future considerations.
Fast forward to six weeks ago, I received a promotional email from Optics Planet which included steep reductions on several optics; and these Terra's were in that mix. Recalling my encounter with the magazine review, I placed an immediate order and the item was in my mailbox four days later. I have only examined the optic briefly around my property, but I am happy with the clarity, edge-to-edge sharpness, and the long eye relief (I'm an eyeglass wearer). The real testing comes in two months on another safari.
The only knock I have on this bino is its sensitive focus. The focusing 'sweet spot' is great, but it is just that --a spot! With the easy turning of the wheel, I pass the focus sweet spot extremely quickly, several times, before settling on best focus. May be a learning/practice thing for me. But, otherwise, I feel that I got a super deal.
