    Nikon Action VII 7x50

    I'm interested with a VII 7x50, as i want a cheap and good porro for stargazing: constellations, clusters, nebulaes. I need advices as i don't think i ever tried this pair at night. I don't know if it performs well. It's for a pure sky use only. And dusk use.

    Optics: Action EX vs VII

    As I saw many times that there was discussions about the Action VII and Action EX regarding their optics, i'll add my opinion. I sold an Action VII 7x35 that i kept for months. I received last week an Action EX 7x35. Their optics are different. Please note that this is what i can compare between...

    Fake Swarovskis

    Just for the fun. They seems to be totally home made, or some chinabins reworked. Swarovski isnt even written straight. Some bumps visible and green paint over it. Am I wrong? http://www.leboncoin.fr/sports_hobbies/245979564.htm?ca=12_s

    Eden brand

    Hi. I'm opening this thread, as i saw on many forums includind this one (thanks KorHaan), that this Brand was providing excellent optics. If i am right, their body and eyecups are exactly the same than the Minox, Bushnell, ... Same Bosma factory perhaps. If i'm let's say this time, not wrong...

    Stargazing Binoculars advice

    Hi I'm searching for a good (preference for porro, but prisms isnt exluded) pair of affordable binoculars for stargazing. I don't want a monster size (50-60 diameter is the max) as i will carry the binoculars and won't use a tripod nor monopod neither. I want to spend like 100-200 euros for it...

    Swarovski Habicht 8x30 w Review, comparison with Minox BV 8x42 BR

    Hi. I received today a pair of Habicht 8x30 w. The first feeling i had just after opening the box, is the "small" size of the "beast". The leather body is very sweet to the hands, it feels fresh and robust. The smell of the body is kinda smooth to the nose, like you want to breath the binoculars...

    BV 8x40 BR eyecups !

    Hellow I just want to warn that i had a quick issue with my recent Minox BV 8x40 BR. After only two weeks of normal use, the left eye cup didnt set to a position anymore, and was going up and down uncontrollably. Very annoying. This BV model (the cheapest one from Minox?)eyecups are interiorly...
