I have in fact tried the 15x50 for race calling and for me the narrow field of view is a huge drawback. I like to see as many horses as possible but with...

    Dekarem replacements...

    Hi Ed: Thanks for your wonderful advice. i went and had a look at the Audubon thread and did not realize you were so knowledgeable on such matters, so I really appreciate your time. I got a new pair of Audubons a couple of years ago when I started racecalling and felt at the time they didnt...

    Best Porro 10x50 or 12x50 for under $500

    Hi Bob: I think the only issue would be would the 10x30's be bright enough an hour or so enough before sunset or under stadium style floodlights (which I appreciate may not be natural birdwatching conditions.!) Craig
