    Delivery time MC II zoom eyepiece

    Hi The ED50 mm angled body with a Nikon 20x WA MC is a great little partner to my small and light weight birding 8x32 SE arsenal now. I do get black outs on the the ED 50mm 20x MC eyepiece combo. So eye placement is crucial (eyeglass wearer). I am confused about two things is the MC the best...

    Vortex Razor

    I also tried a pair and the focus wheel was aweful. Optics were very nice. I dont know why EO knocked off the EL to me that seems a bit odd. They have DLS which seems to be top notch all around and has its own unique look. When it comes to marketing most will know they are not Swarovski...

    The perfect match SE & ED 50 but....

    Hi I wear glasses, so I use the SE with eyecups folded all the way down (and find the eye-relief to be perfect; never had a blackout). I love my 8x32 SE. at first was not really sure about them, but now I can't imagine being with out them. The ED50 mm angled body with a Nikon 20x WA MC is a...

    Zeiss Conquest Which ONE?

    How come some are listed as Conquest B T* P* or Conquest B T*? There has to be a difference between the T* and the T* P* version, right? Weird. Thank you very much for the explanation. Did not find the ABK in the title on the E.O. website. Thanks again.

    The eagle optics website has the Zeiss Conquest B T* for sale 769 dollars on sale. Does any one know what the difference is between the Conquest B T*, The Conquest B T* P*, and The Conquest ABK are? Very confusing. Any one have comparisons to the Nikon SE? Below is a link to the item that E.O...

    Nikon SE 8x32 vs. Minox Porro 8x44

    I did go out this afternoon- over cast skies and gloomy in my tree- canopied backyard and you were right the Minox outperformed the SE by quite a bit. I was suprised. But the FOV did bother me on the Minox, after all. I guess I cant have it all. Thanks to everyone for their comments. Still for...

    Nikon SE 8x32 vs. Minox Porro 8x44

    I recently purchased both the Nikon SE 8x32 and the Minox porro 8x44. I did several tests at home to compare them. I used a dollar bill and other printed materials to test resolution and sharpness. Both seem very similar when it came to brightness, resolution, etc. but I feel unsettled because I...

    Porro prism views! WOW!

    Nikon E vs Minox porro Hi Henry, Thanks for the info. Went down to the photo store and brought the Minox porro 8x44 with me and compared it to the 8x30E. I found aside from the field of view. Minox is a better bin comfort wise, focus is smoother, waterproof, eyecups twist up and optically it...
