    Thrift Store Find 804r without the R

    Hi guys, I read here frequently, have little to add to all the experienced, expert comments. Great stuff! I did find a Swift 804 at St. Vincent dePaul. Multi Coated, "wide field" inside the white triangle, blue stripe at the oculars with blue ball in the tripod hole. Leather case in great shape...

    6x - 7x hunting bin recomendation

    I'm from the Dark side of the mountains but have hunted both sides. If I was spending more I would get the switch powers from Leupold or Leica because I like 7x but once I find something I'm longing for more power! That said, I've owned the Swift Eaglet 7x36, Yosemite 6x30's and Fuji Polaris...

    Obserevations on Zen ZRS, ED2, Minox Porro and 10x50 Apex

    Hello, Sold my Fuji Polaris' a while back and haven't picked up anything else yet. Using my Yosemites and some single coated Fuji 8x40's (great piece of glass btw.) I'm going to 10x for this next binocular. Western hunting and I can still hold it pretty well. I haven't seen the Zen's at all...

    ED Chinese Binocs on Ebay $200

    I agree, too flaky to spend any money, but if it is one of the factories selling a very similar item it becomes very attractive. Like I said in the first post. Doesn't look to me like they have sold even one. Can't imagine anyone putting down $200 for that kind of bet. BUT if anyone has, let...

    ED Chinese Binocs on Ebay $200

    Anyone seen or know the story behind the $200 ED binoculars being sold by chinese sellers on ebay? Specs are kind of hard to totally decipher but they look like the Zen's, Atlas and Promasters. I looked at quite a bit of feedback and didn't see anyone leaving feedback for a binocular. I sure...

    2010 Zen-Ray ZRS and ED

    Hi Steve, Having not seen either, I had the same questions. The small size of the ZRS is appealing. Being mostly a porro prism user I like depth of field and clean, easy to look through binoculars. Sounds like the ED2 has a significant leg up in this regard. Some people have indicated they...

    7x binoculars- how many people use them?

    7x50 Fuji Polaris for 10 years. Sold them recently. Haven't stepped up to anything else yet. So it's the 6x30 Yosemites at the moment.

    Dielectric Coatings' any 50mm offerings?

    http://www.zen-ray.com/blog/ Looks like this chart shows the next round in binoculars is likely to bring roofs up to porro brightnesses with 99% reflectivity. The reports on the new ZRS indicate it's performance is greatly enhanced. Has anyone compared the new dielectric Monarch to the new ZRS...

    Hiking with 8x30 Yosemite

    I've used my 6x30 Yosemite's more than I thought I would, too. I've hunted with them and drug them around in the vehicles a bunch. I think they get more abuse in the truck and car than they do with them strapped around my neck. I wouldn't worry about them. I worked for a company that back in the...
