Meopta 15x B1 Plus vs Maven 18x B5 opinions?

[svhunter]

Have looked though both but too much time between the two. Thoughts on them?

I have the Meopta and they are brighter and clearer than my 2003 el’s. Never looked at the Maven, but can’t imagine them being better. I even find them better than a friends SLC’S.

I had the maven 18s and now the 15s. Great glass but the 18s had too narrow depth of field for my taste. 15s were better for all around glassing

I have the Maven 18x and they are outstanding on a tripod. My hand held pair is new version Swarovski SLC10x. I haven't noticed any depth of field short comings, and what actually sold me on the 18x was how large the depth of field was. I have not looked through anything Meopta.
