Delivery time MC II zoom eyepiece
Hi The ED50 mm angled body with a Nikon 20x WA MC is a great little partner to my small and light weight birding 8x32 SE arsenal now. I do get black outs on the the ED 50mm 20x MC eyepiece combo. So eye placement is crucial (eyeglass wearer). I am confused about two things is the MC the best... -

Vortex Razor
I also tried a pair and the focus wheel was aweful. Optics were very nice. I dont know why EO knocked off the EL to me that seems a bit odd. They have DLS which seems to be top notch all around and has its own unique look. When it comes to marketing most will know they are not Swarovski...- FIELDBIRD

The perfect match SE & ED 50 but....
Hi I wear glasses, so I use the SE with eyecups folded all the way down (and find the eye-relief to be perfect; never had a blackout). I love my 8x32 SE. at first was not really sure about them, but now I can't imagine being with out them. The ED50 mm angled body with a Nikon 20x WA MC is a... -

I understand they have a different prisms but what about the P*? I' ve seen some Conquest 8x40 with T and TP? -

Zeiss Conquest Which ONE?
How come some are listed as Conquest B T* P* or Conquest B T*? There has to be a difference between the T* and the T* P* version, right? Weird. Thank you very much for the explanation. Did not find the ABK in the title on the E.O. website. Thanks again. -

Zeiss Conquest Which ONE?
The eagle optics website has the Zeiss Conquest B T* for sale 769 dollars on sale. Does any one know what the difference is between the Conquest B T*, The Conquest B T* P*, and The Conquest ABK are? Very confusing. Any one have comparisons to the Nikon SE? Below is a link to the item that E.O... -

Nikon SE 8x32 vs. Minox Porro 8x44
I did go out this afternoon- over cast skies and gloomy in my tree- canopied backyard and you were right the Minox outperformed the SE by quite a bit. I was suprised. But the FOV did bother me on the Minox, after all. I guess I cant have it all. Thanks to everyone for their comments. Still for... -

Nikon SE 8x32 vs. Minox Porro 8x44
I recently purchased both the Nikon SE 8x32 and the Minox porro 8x44. I did several tests at home to compare them. I used a dollar bill and other printed materials to test resolution and sharpness. Both seem very similar when it came to brightness, resolution, etc. but I feel unsettled because I... -

Porro prism views! WOW!
Nikon E vs Minox porro Hi Henry, Thanks for the info. Went down to the photo store and brought the Minox porro 8x44 with me and compared it to the 8x30E. I found aside from the field of view. Minox is a better bin comfort wise, focus is smoother, waterproof, eyecups twist up and optically it...- FIELDBIRD

Porro prism views! WOW!
Hi Henry, I was wondering is 200 dollars too much for a New but old in stock Nikon E8x30 they said the stock is from the 90's and the bins are fully multi coated. Which bins do you bird with the most? Thanks- FIELDBIRD

Porro prism views! WOW!
I have not used the Swifts. They just sounded like the diopeter adjustment may be a problem. Has Swift remedied their problem? I would think with ED glass and porro prism Swift would have an amazing view.- FIELDBIRD

Any one found a scope like the Nikon SE?
Nikon ED 50mm How's the Nikon 50ED? What type of eyepiece do you recommend for shorebirds and duck ponds? I don't use a scope a lot but want one (quality but price is an issue). I wear glasses and have looked through the Nikon ED78 and it was wonderful. Zoom eyepieces not too impressed with... -

Any one found a scope like the Nikon SE?
I recently have fallen in love with the porro view. I have heard wonderful things about the Nikon SE bins. I just placed an order for an 8 x32 SE. But has anyone found a scope like the Nikon SE in "price and optical reputation"? Thanks. -

Porro prism views! WOW!
Nikon E 8x30 I found a pair of old Nikon E 8x30s at a photo store they want 214 dollars for them. Is this a good deal? They told me they retailed for 500 or 600 dollars their view is quite wonderful but they are not waterproof and what will happen when they need repair since they are so old...- FIELDBIRD

Porro prism views! WOW!
Minox porros are amazing for 370 dollars. I compared them to 500 to 700 (Minox, Pentax, Vortex, Bushnell) dollars roof bins and have found nothing that comes close. The new Minox roof 8.5 x43 HG is nothing wonderful, trust me. I have heard of the Nikon SE 8x32 REPUTATION, has anyone compared...- FIELDBIRD

Minox Porro's
Mini review- Minox porro I did try a nice bin- the New Minox porro 8x44 very very nice for about $370 dollars. The negative things about the Minox- FOV is terrible and they are very heavy. The Minox put ridges around the eyecups that hurts the bridge of your nose after a while. But they have a... -

Nikon Monarch, Bushnell Legend or Eagle Optics SRT
Minox almost a favorite I had a chance to put the Monarch up to the Legend today. The Legend has way better resolution and the field of view is wonderful. Nice clear image. The Monarch has great color saturation but weak resolution- like soft focus or something. I did try a nice bin- the New... -

Nikon Monarch, Bushnell Legend or Eagle Optics SRT
Between the Monarch and my initial impressions of the Legend. The Legend is easier to handle not as finicky as the focus and depth of field of the Nikon Monarch. Anybody out there birding with the EO Ranger SRT? Thanks -

Nikon Monarch, Bushnell Legend or Eagle Optics SRT
Hi New Birder having trouble deciding between these 3 binocular choices any help on a binocular selection would be helpful. I wear glasses. I have heard good things about all of them. I have to stay under 300 dollars and I have heard the Monarch is very good according to Cornell Lab bin Review...
