    Docter 8x32, any opinions/experience?

    I've had such a binos, 3..4 eyars ago and sold. Not bad in all, but they had TOO much yellowish hue for me. And the rubber armour smelt displeasingly. Sightron SII 8x32 BlueSky is way better. IMO.

    8x32..... NikonSE vs Meopta B1.... IMO: the B1's field of view is wider, but the "working, all sharp" field of view is equal. Brightnes at twilight is equal. Very inessential (and similar) distorsions. CA are very good controlled in both devices. SE's apparent contrast is THE BEST I've seen at...

    I think that used Meopta Meostar B1 8x32 would be the gold member in this groupe

    YES I would! I love my 8x32SE very much, fantastic device indeed! But if i should choose hard, i'd prefer the ZR 7x43ED3

    I think Sightron was a bit brighter, maybe had a little more contrast... But almost negligible. My friend, for xmpl, opted the ZR 8x32 from these two...)))

    There was some issue with the eyecups on 7x43ED3. But i've fixed it. I removed the rubber eyecups, then made two turns of black electrical tape on the pipes (to cover theirs guide slots) , and then again put on the eyecups (using drops of glue), but not to the end, so that they were the 4 ...

    I've been REALLY convinced that ZR 7x43_ED3 IS THE BEST device "in any category for the dollar" ! Also i'm impressed very much by ZR 8x32 Summit! I did the contest them vs Sightron SII BlueSky. Sightron seems just a little better for a bit longer eye-relief and more comfortable eyepieces

    Best optics under $500 - Least CA / Most wow factor

    Zen Ray 7x43 ED3 is THE BEST device under $700 (imo) / Only $409 on ZR shop!

    During all of the last month the ZR 7x43ED3 was the best binos... 10x32FL was the second one.

    What is the best 10x32 binocular for the money?

    Zeiss 10x32 FL is the best choice (for me). It's very stable during viewing.

    Best optics under 250?

    Above $250 (imo) good Carl Zeiss Jena 8x30 would be the best choice. Super-Wide FOV and really "live" picture (as if there isn't any glass between your eyes and the object)

    8x20 UV eyecups modification

    Yes , i really did try many various rings but such soft corrugated rubber tubes (like in military riflescopes) are more comfortable for long surveillance... imo of course :)

    8x20 UV eyecups modification

    Cuz I found the original eyepieces too small and jerky, I explored different ways of their upgrade. Now I want to show you guys my own version of customizing the eyecups for Leica 8x20 Ultravid. I used rubber sleeves (original P/N (MercedesBenz): A2033270090..... (Very smooth and thin soft...
