    Versions of 8x30 CL

    Hi all, looking at a 8x30 CL I think is the basic model ? not sure attaching a picture. I believe by now there have been different models. I guess just a plain 8x30 CL (initial release), 8x30 CL Companion, 8x30 CL B, probably others. Does anyone has a link to all models with FOV especially ? Any...

    Is there a 'for sale' forum here?

    Hi all, have not been here in a while. Last time I was here there was a section were members can sell binoculars. Is that still available ? I have a 8x32 FL that I have not used for years, maybe time for a new home. Can members sell somewhere on this site. Input appreciated.

    Is Vortex Optics next??

    Stellar customer service, I was about to throw up when I read it. Vortex has a arrogant, do not care customer service. My emails and phone calls from years ago have STILL not been replied to. And yea I tried al least four of their binoculars in different models they were all out of focus.

    An inexpensive 6x30?

    I pretty much tried all the 6x including the Vortex and Opticron. They all had short eye relief. Getting blackouts. I did try the Steiner but has poor optics. Leopold while it has good optics the two different samples I tried the focus was way off. Im giving up on the 6x there is no quality 6x.

    New released Swaro CL Companion 8x30 B

    I tried the original version CL 8x30 and I got blackout. I also tried the Nikon Monarch 7 in 8x30 and got blackout. Same with Opticron BGA 6x32. Will try the new CL in 8x30 and see how it goes 😀

    Cabela's and Bass Pro Merger Completed

    I never liked Bass pro. Zero help whatsoever in the store. Nobody to help. Just so happen I went in as a mall entrance. They asked me if I want to buy a boat. Seriously ? Clothes just average quality. Outside of that I don't think I ever bought anything. Way overpriced. Cabelas always had more...

    What are the very BEST Binos in this Galaxy

    Since we talking Galaxy we can start with Star Wars as they are the first to pioneer the use of whatever that device is called and go up from there.

    Eagle Optics To Close

    Not sure what the real reason is that EO closed but Vortex is junk. Each of the 4 binos in the Viper line I bought had out of focus, blackout, cannot move the focuser, glare, etc. Customer service just horrible, they don't know what products they are making, they had no knowledge about it when I...

    Pro Guide 8x32?

    This is a welcome addition but at twice the price of the non ED, I will have to pass. Not that I would but the Nikon Monarch 7 in the 8x42 is now $422 on Amazon. That is some tough competition. Not only that but this bx4 looks identical to the Cabela version non ed. I tried the cabela 8x32 non...

    Nikon centralizes optical engineering

    Nikon binos marketing is dysfunctional. At least in US it is. I had a catalog from 1994 their marketing was much better back then. I bought their porro in the mid 90's and I remember many retail dealers had pretty much all their models: sports stores, camera stores, etc. these days you lucky...

    Nikons - where would they rank?

    You know they are market driven because they don't make a 8x32 for common man. One has to spend $1500 plus to get one in 8x32. In US likely most people get the 8x42 or 10x so forget x32 version. Still Nikon is a solid brand name with world wide recognition with good reliability. Kind like Yamaha...

    New to birding and of course looking at Binos, Are MHG 8X42 overkill?

    There is no such a thing as overkill in binos. Binos are extremely complex machinery. Just like the human eye is very complex, for these that use binos for hours at a time everything counts in a binos interaction. Buy the best binos you can afford. One can buy a debatable $500 to $1000 binos...

    Why Do Some Leupold Binos have BX-2 or BX-3 In Their Name?

    BX2 is low quality I saw some at Basspro not worth the $ BX3 definitely better some Japan made Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
