    In praise of the Zeiss SFL 10x40

    It seems to me that the SFL 10x40 does not get so much love and attention here on Birdforum, so I thought I would just share my thoughts on it. I had been using the Zeiss SF 10x32 for the last couple of years, and though this is a very fine binocular I somehow could not really ‘’bond’’ with it...

    "Retrovid" 8x40 and 10x10 - any good??

    I know that the "Retrovid" 7x35 has been quite highly praised on this forum, but I was curious as to what the opinions are regarding the other two models. Has anyone looked through them, and if so how do they compare to other similar bins? Thanks and best regards Gary

    Looking for binocular with large depth of field

    I’m looking for a new binocular for my wife, who due to her disability, is having increasing difficulty holding and focusing a normal binocular. The problem of holding the binocular is fairly easily solved by the use of a monopod/finstick, but her difficulty in turning the focusing knob while...

    Help me choose a replacement for my Nikon 8x30 EII!!

    I have come to the conclusion that I want to replace my Nikon 8x30 EII!:eek!: It’s not because I am dissatisfied with the view, which is wonderful, but because I now need a binocular with more eye relief as l now have to wear glasses. I’m also a bit wary of using the EII in inclement weather...

    Monocular advice

    Hello all I´d like some advice re monoculars. I want something small enough to slip in a pouch, (so that rules out instruments like the Zen-Ray 8x42 mono etc) with the idea being that it is always to hand when I´m out and about on walking or photography trips etc, and don't have my bins or...

    Help me choose: Swarovski 8x30 WB vs. Nikon 8x30 EII

    Sorry people, but its it’s another one of those “help me choose” threads…. :eek!: Basically I want a new pair of good quality 8x30 porros (due to various personnel reasons I prefer them to roofs) and have, after much deliberating, narrowed my choice down to the above two. It’s going to be...

    CA in Swarvorski 8x30W Habicht?

    I am interesting in buying a pair of Swarvorski 8x30 Habicht bins, but because very few shops seem to stock them I will probably have to do so without first getting a look at them. Having read a lot of the previous posts about these, they seem to be very good and offer everything I need at a...

    CA on low to mid price roofs?

    Hi everyone I've just got a pair of Nikon Monarch 8x36 as a backup to my main bins. They are quite nice apart from one thing which is driving me mad - the CA! Maybe it's just me, but I find CA to be most annoying. Is this typical of roofs in this price range or are there some models better...

    Leica 10x25 Ultravid objective lens coatings

    Hello all Just a quick question over the objective lens coatiing on the 10x25 Ultravids that I have. I've had them about 8 months now and noticed, for the first time a couple of days back while cleaning the objective lenses in bright daylight, that the left lens has a distinct green tint to...

    Good lightweight bins for disabled birder

    I wonder if you good people could give me some advice in choosing a new pair of birding bins? I would like to have a pair weighing less than 500gms as, because of my disability, I have limited strength in my arms and holding anything heavier is tiring after a while If I can I would like to...
