    Docter ED/Valdada Jena B/CF ED

    Did a search and haven't found anything on these binos. They look very interesting. Docter ED, open bridge ED porros. They appear to also be imported by Valdada. Made in Germany and can be had for $1100 for 8x & $1200 for 10x. The original Docter Porros seem to have gotten good reviews for back...

    Dielectric coatings not available on Angled Versions?

    I was just reading some descriptions on scopes and noticed that Nikon states on their website that dielectric coatings are only available on straight versions of their EDG spotters because they are only necessary on roof prisms, and thus not available on angled versions...

    Obj. lense covers for conquest

    Does Zeiss offer objective lense covers for the current Conquest line? I know they do not come with them; however, I thought you could buy them after. I've been searching around on the Zeiss site, but I can' find them. I'm just curious if anyone else has bought them. Thanks.

    Christensen Optics

    I did a search for Christensen Optics, and only found one thread that is over a year old. Wasn't much information there, and not a lot on their website. Has anyone had the opportunity to try these or does anyone really know anything about them? They make some claims that their binoculars are...

    Binoculars Void

    I've been searching over the last few months to find a great binocular. I'm willing to go around $1300. Anyway, this isn't a question about what to buy. Rather, an observation that there seems to be a void in binoculars between $1000-$2000. There are a lot of great, expensive binos from Zeiss...

    Super Deal on Leupold GR HD or Zen Ray ED2 still better?

    With the current $100 rebate on the Leupold Golden Ring HDs, They seem like a no-brainer buy. In addition to that, I got some coupons from Cabelas which let me save an addition $75 of $500, making the 10x42s $525 plus tax. That is an unbelievable buy for a pair of Golden Ring HDs. However, if...

    Meopta Meostar Packagin

    Hey guys, I just received a pair of Meopta Meostar binoculars that I purchased off of Ebay. The seller had over 9000 ratings and was 99.7% positive. Anyway, binos are packaged in a plain white box with a Meopta paper cover that slides over the white box. Normally, white box like that to me...

    Finally got my binos!!!

    Well, I finally purchased my binos! I've been debating over the last few months between the Meopta Meostars, Zen ED2s, Pentax DCF ED, Minox HG, Vortex Razors, and Zeiss Conquest ABK...all in 10x. I've had a chance to try most of them. I was real close to pulling the trigger on the Conquest and...

    Victory FL or Ultravid (non-HD)

    I can purchase a Victory FL (non Lotutec) or an Ultravid (non-HD) for about the same price. Neither will have hydrophobic coating, but the Zeiss will have the FL glass. I'm looking at a 10x42 configuration. From my reading I've gathered that the Zeiss may have a better view, due to the ABK...

    Zeiss Conquest ABK vs Meopta Meostar

    I'm looking to buy a nice 10x bino in the near future. The other night I briefly compared a Zeiss Conquest ABK, Pentax DCF ED, Vortex Razor, and Minox HG...all in 10x. I was surprised because to me, the Zeiss Conquest ABK was by far the brightest and clearest. Granted, I was in doors (it was...
