    Swaro ATS 65 HD vs Nikon Monarch

    Thank you for your proposition. Actually, I had the chance to try an ATS 65 the last week end. I think the choice is done !

    Swaro ATS 65 HD vs Nikon Monarch

    Thank you for the replies ! About Nikon scopes, the previous fieldscopes (III and 82) were made in China too ? I thought the Monarchs were just a cosmetic upgrade of the III and 82ED... Thanks for the tip. I'll contact the seller to ask more about it, but I think I'd prefer something more...

    Swaro ATS 65 HD vs Nikon Monarch

    Hello all, I plan to buy my first spotting scope for birding. I’m a newbie, but I probably should follow some friends advice : “get something good now and you won’t have to worry about it for many many years”. I want something compact, robust and reasonably light. I probably will use it for...

    Sample pictures from 65mm scope ?

    Hello, I'm looking for sample pictures from a compact camera with a 60/65mm scope (Swaro ATS/ATM, Nikon Fieldscope, Kowa 663 or other). Do you know any websites where I could find examples ? Thank you !

    Diopter problem

    By street light I meant a street lamp (sorry for my poor english). So yes, I use the bins in daylight, at different times of the day, with different lighting conditions (sunny / cloudy...). I haven't touched the focus knob for more than a week, and the diopter adjustment is still ok... Yes, I...

    Diopter problem

    Thanks Subzero ! For the test that Lee suggested, I look at a street light. This is better for seeing contrast indeed. I only used my bins to look at this light, for a week now, and I never had to change the diopter setting. That would suggest it's a mechanical problem...

    Diopter problem

    Thanks again for your help Lee. I alternate between these two settings only (+1/-1), but I can't see a pattern. Sometimes I stick to +1 for the whole day, some other day I alternate 3 or 4 times. Ok, I'll try that for a few days. I'll let you know.

    Diopter problem

    Hello Troubador, Thanks for the response. Actually, I've find out that only 2 settings work for me with the Nikon : 1 setting on the + side, and 1 setting on the - side (there's no real +1 or +2 marks on the diopter ring, but I know where "my" settings are). The "0" is never ok and I never have...

    Diopter problem

    Hi all, I purchased a Nikon M7 8x30 4 months ago, and I think I might have a problem with the diopter setting. I sometimes spend time to do fine adjustment, let's say I set it to +1, and a few hours later, I have to change it to -1. What do you think about it ? Is it a mechanical problem ? Or...

    Nikon Monarch HG

    Hello, I might be interested in the MHG 8x too. Canip, have you tested the glare control ? Pesto pointed the good glare control by the 10x, but is it the same for the 8x ?

    Pentax PF/PR 65

    I didn't really paid attention to the weight, but as you mentioned it... Maybe too heavy.

    Pentax PF/PR 65

    Hello, I'm planning to get me a scope, and the Pentax 65 is on my short list. The PF-65 seems to be a good value, at least at low mag, but I'm wondering about the PR-65. Does anybody had a chance to compare PF and PR 65 scopes ? Is the new one still ok ? Thanks in advance for your help !
