    Method for setting IPD

    I've read many posts where folks actually measure their IPD and set their bins and forget it. I believe the IPD changes a few mm based on distance. I've been doing this method for a while without thinking about it. Seems to work for me and requires no measurements. And can be adjusted for...

    Meopta 7x42... done

    Well my search for bins is over. Found a pair of Meopta 7x42 and they are very, very nice. Since last year I've been looking for a wide FOV, relaxed view, quality bin. FOV – wide and sharp to the edges. Very comfortable view Eye relief – 20mm maybe slightly more. I have glasses so this...

    Meopta 8x32

    Just found an ad in our local eagle festival brochure showing Meopta 8x32's I'm an owner of 7x42's and really love them (am looking to post a short review later this week). At the time they didn't have the 32's. The 7x42's are really top performing and comfortable to use. But, with these...

    Leupold HD's

    Check out EO current prices on the Leupold HD's. When I was looking for new bins, I thought the GoldRing series was nice (tried them out at the Outdoor retailer show in Salt lake) but too expensive (for me) They seemed in every way like top end bins. For some reason the bottom is dropping out...

    Nikon 8x30 EII... new

    It's dark now and I was only able to steal an hour or so at a local marsh to get a feel for the EIIs that just arrived. I can honestly say I did not really grasp what “sharp” was in a binocular… now I know. The view was hyper real (that’s the only way I could describe it). I’ve been...

    Best 10x42 or 10x50 something under $500

    Looking for a good set of 10x42/50's for shore birding, hawks, owls. Yes, I know they're harder to steady and heavier and no, I don't want to hear how good Swaro, Zeiss, Leica are (unless you are willing to contribute the difference :-) What I'm considering (remember it's under $500) Nikon...

    Red Tail in the morning (new to the forum)

    One morning a couple weeks ago I got lucky with this. We've got a perfect dead birch about 150 ft out our living room window that is used by owls, osprey and hawks. Got lucky! This was at 300mm + 1.4 and handheld... through a window! Took about 20 shots to find a good enough image ( I know the...
