    Review of 8x25 Victory Pocket

    I just purchased a pair of 8x25 Zeiss Victory for travel and as a pair around the house to watch my feeders. One issue many owner seemed to have was the large case, I will try and investigate a smaller more appropriate one - any recommendations appreciated. I have considered someday starting...

    New Leica September 4 2017

    I wear glasses and 15mm should be fine for me. I use 7x42mm Leica hd+ and I am reluctant to change. Would have to believe the view was comparable. Then it would come down to weight v waterproof. Since my hardcore days are running out weight would win out. Better ergonomics. I doubt that 7x35...

    This has to be common, thought Tufted Titmouse but I think that is wrong.

    2016 - World Yearlist Record Attempt

    Congratulations! I can't imagine the physical effort. I would be curled up in a fetal position after a month. So many wonderful memories.

    No one spotted the updated SF today?

    Has anyone had an issue with the rubber armor losing it bond with the binocular? Has Zeiss addressed this or dont they see it as an issue.

    Botanical Gardens

    Sunday a week I hope to spend a few days in Singapore. I plan to visit the Botanical Gardens early in the morning and try a little birding. Never birded in SE Asia. I did purchase a field guide. A short list of potential sightings would allow me to focus my study. Appreciate any help. Mike

    New Leica HD Ultravid PLUS

    Must agree. All my other bins have ended up on EBay or donated to Birders Exchange. I wear eyeglasses, the Ultravid 7x42 is easy for me to look through, find birds and hold steady. If I understand the changes impact brightness but little else? I guess just have to wait and see. Mike

    What is This?

    What is this? It is over topping trees at a good site for Blue-winged Warblers in South York County PA. No Blue-winged.

    Nikon EDG II: First impressions and comparisons

    I wear glasses. Intermediate stops for glasses cause blackout or narrow field. Two rings per barrel is perfect.

    Nikon EDG II: First impressions and comparisons

    Thought I would add some observations concerning 7x42 edg II which I have been using for a few weeks. Purchased them after trying higher power bins for several years all of which ended up on EBAY. Thought more power would help older eyes, turned out not to be right. My observation concerning the...
