    I'll try again....maybe my luck will turn considering I didn't visit the $ 640.000.000 store for my ticket. Paula

    Charles: Zen-Ray 8X32 Project Status?

    How about an 8x32 and/or 8x42 ED Porro? I have tried many a Roof (including Zen-Ray) and ALWAYS find them "less than" Porros. Not because they aren't good bins but because they are NOT Porros. I think my DNA is to blame.

    Celestron Nature 8x30 Porro Review

    Amen to that! A little tolerance of one and other's opinions and sense of humor goes a long way. We do not need to take life so seriously....BTW Mine are on their way;)

    Zen ray Vista, compare to ?

    I agree Henry. I bought them and send them back for reasons you stated. Customer Service was great though.

    Hawke Frontier ED: another open bridge ED bin from China

    Just an update on my experience with Hawke Optics. I ordered the EDs on Oct.5 being under the assumption that I would get them in 3 days which was important because I was about to embark on a roadtrip on Oct.12 thru CA, NV, UT and AZ. Since migration was in full force I was looking forward to...

    Hawke Frontier ED: another open bridge ED bin from China

    Steve, You are right, $50.- isn't that much and no one is saying that the Frontiers aren't worth the extra $$. However, it is quite clear that Hawke reps are following this thread, judging by their replies to various forum member querries/observations. It then logically follows that they were...

    Hawke Frontier ED: another open bridge ED bin from China

    Just checked out Sherwood's website (UK) where the Frontier ED's are still 279.- pounds (sorry, no pound character on my keyboard). No price increase there!!

    Hawke Frontier ED: another open bridge ED bin from China

    Frank, You must be a kinder person than I am because my first thought after discovering the $50.- price hike had to do with greed...greed on the part of the Indiana offices. As Kevin said, it seems that the Bird Forum's members are doing all the marketing for them and we get to pay Hawke...

    Hawke Frontier ED: another open bridge ED bin from China

    Hello Frank, Thank you for your comprehensive review of the Frontier ED. As always....great job! I have been keeping my eye on Hawke's website for a while now and have followed this thread since the first post. My initial interest were their porros but when the Mystery/Promaster/Frontier...

    Brand Loyalty and the Impartial Observer

    eirikis, It is good to have an "entertaining" and perhaps "manipulating" point of view (after all, you are a marketing guy) on BF and I wish you much pleasure from your Celestrons. One tiny comment: Monarchs would most likely not make you the envy on your block and will not make mine (nikon SE...

    Recently purchased the Leupold Yosemite 6x30

    I just received my 6x30's and am very pleased with these little bins. The view is bright, sharp, virtually aberration free. They feel great in the hand and they work excellent with my glasses. It is a great little glass for the money. There is a negative aspect and it is the focus wheel. It...
