    Raptor dining in the cold

    Saw this hawk kill a small bird and take it back to the branch for plucking and eating. Sorry about the photo quality but my point and shoot zoom was near max. Barred tail. Head color has got me stumped. Location: SE Oklahoma Thinking immature sharp shinned, Coopers, red-shouldered? My best...

    GR 8x32

    In case anyone is looking, there are some 8x32 GR listed for sale on archery talk forum. I've got no association with seller or the binocular.

    Minox model designation

    Is there a binocular cheat sheet somewhere that differentiates all of the different letters Minox uses in their model descriptions? When shopping binos, especially used models, I have purposely avoided Minox because of the hodge podge of model designations. Is there a pattern that I am not...

    EL coatings, a timeline

    Looking at used EL's (8x32) What year of manufacture would have the latest coatings and construction except for the Swarovision model? I did spend some time with some 8x32 SV and wish I could find a better price on those. Thanks

    Rolling Ball question

    Does the rolling ball effect (or the perception of the RB) occur to the same degree for binos of different objective size and different magnification? In my only in-store test I got to look thru some 10x42 SV but not 8x42 or 8x32's. I'm most interested in the 8x32's and wanted to know if the...

    128rc or 700rc2 ?

    For a 65mm spotter under 4# (Celestron Regal M2). This will be paired with a Manfrotto 190XB tripod. I cannot find any comparisons other than the 128 will support a heavier load. It appears that either will be adequate for a spotter/eyepiece in the 3.5-4# range. Does either have any quirks...

    65 EDII with Meade zoom?

    Has anyone used the Meade Series 4000 8-24mm zoom eyepiece with the Pentax 65 EDII spotter? I'm thinking of going primarily with SMC XW14mm eyepiece but having some type of zoom backup and the Meade has a good price compared to the Pentax XF zoom which doesn't get consistently positive reviews...
