Hello, my name is Luca, and i am a binuholic. I have several binoculars and i just can't stop getting more. I also am a birdwatcher (over 3000 on my list, but i stopped counting 8 years ago). I also hunt and fish.

This is my binoculars list

Nikon e2 10x35 and 8x30, SE 8X32, Monarch 8x42
Leica Ultravid 10x42 and 7x42
Swarovski EL and SLC - all of them except for the 15x
Zeiss FL 8x42 and 10x42, Zeiss Classic T P 10x40
Celestron Regal Lx 8x42
Leupold (about 5 of them)
Eagle Optics 8x42 (bought two days ago).
some assortment of 12 other binoculars from Swift, Pentax, Kahles, and Minox

I did go through some counselling. I sold several binoculars (Nikon LX and others) and i did not buy any new ones for 3 months, but...

I have a list of favorite binoculars:
best 7x42: Leica Ultravid
best 8x42: Zeiss FL
best 10x42: Leica Ultravid or Swarovski EL, depending on how my coffee tastes that morning
Best 8x32: Nikon SE, Leica Ultravid and Swarovski EL. I am still debating this one, but i seem to like the EL, it is so comfortable in the hand.
Best buy ever: Celestron Regal LX 8x42 and Nikon e2 10x35

Ciao

Luca
 
Luca,
You know what they say, don't you?

"If you know how many binoculars you own, you don't have enough!"

I had a collection like that once....before I weeded it down a bit.... :eek:)

I am joking ofcourse. Nice collection and welcome to the forum.
