    Nice Nikon service experience - 8x32 SEs

    I don't remember mine taking a long time for turn-around in LA, but I had to send them in twice before they got the hinge tension right. The first time it was so tight, it was not easy to adjust the ipd setting if you wanted to do so. They did get it right the second time, and at least I did...

    Victory Fl 7x42 reflection in right barrel

    Nice to hear that they are on the way, though it would have been even nicer if you didn't have to initiate the response. But at least the work is done, and hopefully they fixed your complaint while they were at it! Sometimes it's good to check up with repair departments as you did. Because...

    Thanks Andy, yes, it seemed to me it would too.

    2019 Interview with Meopta Product Manager

    Yes, of course, thanks again Lee for another great interview. It's nice to hear what is happening in their thoughts too!

    Nikon Service- Good, but slow

    Wow, Bill, that sounds like a very slow response time, but at least someone cared enough to follow through on it from Nikon and got you what you wanted. It does seem often these days that multiple tries are too often necessary to get things resolved with many companies today, though it does...

    Zeiss (USA) service problems

    Yes, Lee, thank you for that nice interview. It sounds promising that Zeiss realizes the problems in setting up a new service operation, and seems committed to making it happen. I like how you always fend for us birdforum people here when you talk to the major optic guys-thank you for that as...

    Victory Fl 7x42 reflection in right barrel

    That's good to know, Andy. I will be sending my FL 7x42's in sometime soon for a diopter problem. And though I might wait as you usually do until after the rush 'til the new year, it's possible they will just send them to Wetzlar Germany anyway. At least it seems some new Kentucky...

    The Binocular Journal

    Glad to see someone is out enjoying the views through their bins this time of year. It's too hot for me to enjoy it, and I'm hardly picking up a pair even to look out at home here. Not much to see anyway from my indoor viewpoints. Hope I feel more like it in the Fall, or they'll be bins for...

    What Would Be a Good Upgrade to my Pentax DCF HRII 10x42 Binos?

    There are many, many binos out there that could possibly be an upgrade, but given a recent post by Upland in this thread, I would suggest looking hard at the 10x Bushnell he is very happy with in his post #4 here: https://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=370421 I am behind the times, and...

    Review of Meopta B1 MeoStar 8x42

    You might be inspired sufficiently by Islay, but it's you who composes it and delivers it to us, Lee. Just so you know. ; )

    Review of Meopta B1 MeoStar 8x42

    Thank you for the added piccy Lee! That's another great one, I like it a lot too! See, you have that artistic eye that often doesn't come with bino pictures, even in catalogs, let alone forum posts. Just as is your "colourful" description of your surrounds where you are and what you see, that...

    Review of Meopta B1 MeoStar 8x42

    No, my serial number is more accurately, 12xxxx, but I was in a hurry when I looked at the s/n before posting. I just wanted to indicate it was made in 2012. And I haven't seen any yellow cast at all in mine either. I just bought mine earlier this year, and no doubt it was a left-over new...

    Review of Meopta B1 MeoStar 8x42

    Keep them coming! Lee, thank you for a lovely day away in your part of the world! Great review, and what would it be without all those words? Just more of the same, technical stuff we find too often in reviews, without the delightful travel and commentary about the natural world as you find...
