    Thinking of buying a new OM-1 mk2

    I own both the Oly 100-400 and 300 F4 In good light the 100-400 for me is great. The 300 F4 is stellar. Very sharp. Also use 300 with 1.4 ext. I prefer a zoom also but when in the woods trying to get pics of warblers the 300 just performs better to allow lower ISO with dual sync...

    New Bin GAS. Switch to SF from Conquest?

    Now that I have had a chance to put my replacement 8x32 SF to use I can say I am very pleased with the results. Excellent view even for my old eyes.

    New Bin GAS. Switch to SF from Conquest?

    Ordered Ziess SF 8x32 as demo open box from EuroOptic. Arrived today. Bad luck. There is a problem. Left Eye will not come into focus. Right eye perfect. Adjusting diopter or focus changes nothing on left side. Talked with EuroOptic. Can return for refund or they can send in for...

    New Bin GAS. Switch to SF from Conquest?

    Update Have been doing some searching locally but no luck on finding a SF to try. But at same time have been doing some further reading. Threads by tenex, Troubador and Roger Vine's reviews have me thinking a 8x32 SF offers a very good option. I like the 8x, and would like a wider FOV...

    Recommend USA Zeiss dealers

    Going to start looking for Ziess Victory SF bins online. Any recommended dealers to check? Normally use BH and adorama for my photography needs. Anyone use Sports Optics out of Hammond LA? EuroOptics does even show SF. Any other recommendations?

    New Bin GAS. Switch to SF from Conquest?

    The optics of the NL are amazing With that I agree 100%. For both birding and night sky. yes all have issues. My conquest hinge failed and Ziess replaced the bins. But for the money that NL cost I would hope for better

    New Bin GAS. Switch to SF from Conquest?
