    Opinions Appreciated. Talk me off the bridge. Long post..

    I've had a blast buying and trying bino's the past couple years, and the likes of Tom, Steve, Frank, Kammer, and surely many others have been super helpful in this journey. However, a recent post on the "bargains" thread has really got me thinking. I have several overlapping interests and...

    Why relatively few low power compacts?

    There's something I just dont get. Low power binoculars seem to have many benefits over their 8x and 10x cousins: • less hand shake • potentially greater FOV (Most Else Being Equal) • better depth of field (again, MEBE) • larger exit pupil resulting in less critical eye placement • larger...

    My wife took the kids to my in-laws today so after work and some light chores, I found myself with a few hours free time. WOO hoo!! I grabbed my bino's and headed to the Tourne County park. On the way I stopped at the Rockaway River for about 10 minutes and saw: Mourning Doves Canada Goose...

    Amateur Review of Yosemite 6x30

    Preface: Let me start by saying that I am a newcomer to quality binocs and wouldnt doubt if I had the least experience looking through good glass of anyone on BF. That said, I have a good idea in my "minds eye" for what I like and dont like. Of course I am not (yet) familiar with the...

    Kildeer arrived today!

    I heard the first calls of the kildeer yesterday evening. My classroom overlooks a small courtyard and is close to a field in which they treat us to a display of their spring-time antics. I used my new (and quite wonderful) Yosemite's to view them skitting in the field today. So far there are...
