Novice Q: difference between Jupiter and UCF
FrankD, thank you. I gave the small time-out to myself to consider. Just found the topic on the russian weapon forum about Visionking roof 7x28 to have the idea what the Visiongking compact bins are all in all. The guy compares it with the american M24 7x28 (not sure what he means, presumably... -

Novice Q: difference between Jupiter and UCF
jring, thanx, the Oly is great. The only disadvantage is it's weight. Maybe I'll buy Leupold or Kowa 6x30 some day. Maybe won't. Will see. Just now the budget is tight so Papilio has gone so far (sigh) and Jupiter just dropped out. So I decided to choose among these in the price order: Two... -

Or maybe they, contrary, are so good so their owners use them quietly in their closed society only? No answer yet... We need the brave heart who will... -

Novice Q: difference between Jupiter and UCF
Hi birdwatching boys and girls :t: Meet the lens-watch-through newborn. Less than a week ago I bought my first deliberated bino. Occasionally and luckily, it was probably the best-in-the-class Olympus 7x35 DPS I. I bought it by ~$50 brand new with full guarantee. There were the strange...
