    What binoculars do you think have the most WOW factor!

    James - anything that Dennis has stated that you dispute? Sounds like a fairly reasonable evaluation of the compacts.

    Zeiss 7x42 FL size?

    Thanks, all very good info. My primary use will be for archery hunting. I just hate having something hanging from my neck while hunting. Also while in my stand I already have my safety harness on. Another harness just is not practical. Looks like I am forced to go the x32 route. I will...

    Zeiss 7x42 FL size?

    I currently have a 8x42 EDG and find them to be great bins. But, I am not getting along with their size and weight. I am considering going to a 8x32 format(probably the Ziess) and also considering the Zeiss 7x42. On paper the 7x42 appears to be smaller and lighter than the EDG. The extra...

    Halo/ghost image around edges? What am I seeing?

    Well I found my answer. I will voluntarily subject myself to public humiliation. It is very cold outside and I was using the bino's looking out the house windows. The windows have a fine screen mesh. Apparently when looking through the mesh, especially at an angle this halo occurs. I walked...

    Halo/ghost image around edges? What am I seeing?

    When I look at through my Nikon Edg's I am seeing a halo around the edges of the image. For instance, the edge or the outline of a tree trunk has a halo or ghost image on both the right and left side of the trunk. It is just a couple of inches of an outline around the edge of the tree. I am...

    Old Trinovids vs original Ultravid?

    Ceasar - can you elaborate on your "reasons of safety" to use a 7x42?

    Old Trinovids vs original Ultravid?

    Thx Tex. Your right it might not work they way I hope. But, when in my tree strand I already have my safety harness on and I hate to have things dangling from my neck. Just more stuff that can interfere with the bow string when making a shot. I agree with the recommendation with 8x42, I...

    Old Trinovids vs original Ultravid?

    Dennis - Thanks for the offer on the Nikons, but the x32 in the edg's don't appeal to me. For me the only reason I see for getting a x32 is the smaller size. And the Nikon's are nearly as large as the Leica 8x42's. If I get the Nikon's they will be 8x42.

    Old Trinovids vs original Ultravid?

    Thanks to everyone for the info. Its a difficult decision for someone like me. Spending this much on binos is hard to justify, but you want the best or close to it. I have narrowed it down to the Leica, Zeiss FL, and Nikon EDG. All can be had used for about the same price on Ebay. They all...

    Old Trinovids vs original Ultravid?

    Thx guys very good info. Dennis - you would recommend going that far back in time with Leitz? Seems to me like they would be rather dated. For what it's worth I am farsighted and the main application is hunting and general viewing. The one thing that really appeals to me in the Leica's is...

    Old Trinovids vs original Ultravid?

    Just curious, what is everyone's opinion on the original Ultravids vs the older Trinovids? If someone was in the market for a used, older model Leica what would you recommend? Thanks

    Going retro (in a way)

    Lots of love here for the Trinovids. Just curious, what is everyone's opinion on the original Ultravids vs the Trinovids? If someone, was in the market for a used Leica what would you recommend? Thanks
