Hello,
I am in the process to buy a top pocket binocular. I will go for Leica. Other than the diopter adjustment on the eyepiece in the Trinovid, have these two Leica pocket binoculars the same optics?
Thank you!

Hello,
I am in a process to buy an almost new Trinovid 10x42. It is the previous Trinovid to the Trinovid HD. I understand they were made for a few years, 2012 to 2015 or so.
I cannot find here comments about one vs. the other, but a few years ago I compared a new Ultravid HD vs a new Trinovid...
Hello,
Yesterday, full winter here, my wife and me went for a snowshoes trek not too far from home. Beautiful day, alone in the mountain without ANY track before us...Great!
For this I brought my Meostar 8x32 B1. Once more I was delighted by its performance. Of course, a very bright day without...
Hello,
As I told here, I am in Europe since April 28th. Family reuniĆ³n around one of our girls (have two boys and two girls) graduation of her MBA in the best business school in Europe (and two or three in the world, by the way). All very happy!
I had a plan, having sold my Z Victory HT 10x42...
Hello,
I have a question (I know james holdsworth and Troubador have both):
Between the Victory FL and the HT, is there, or can be see, any noticeable difference in the veiling glare control?
Thank you!

Hello,
Visiting my son at London, after been with him at his PhD in Economics graduation in the EUI (European University Institute), Firenze, Italy, I made a visit at Harrods. Just to take a look at the place.
As the last year, they have DEALS in binoculars. Two were VERY GOOD SALE offers...
Hello,
Have any of you tried this pocket Meopta binocular. I saw one, briefly, in Europe last June. I didn't know, then, it existed. For around E 125, and their optics, seemed a bargain to me.
If any of you tried this pocket binocular how do you compare with other 8x25 binoculars?
Thank you!

Hello,
I am very intrigued about the Schmidt & Bender Spektiv, or Spectiv, draw tube spotting scope. It was made in 25x50 (or 60...?) and a variable 15-60x60. I do know it was made mainly for hunters but knowing the high quality of all Schmidt & Bender products, their spotting scopes shouldn't...
Hello,
Have any of you tried the Meopta Meopro HD 30-60x80 S.Scope? If so, have any of you compared that with the Meopta Meostar S1 or S2? The non interchangeable ocular can be an interesting feature to lower the cost/price plus the better sealing of the instrument.
I have a S1 APO 75 with...
Hello,
A friend of mine is offering to me a MINT, really MINT, Zeiss 8x50. Not a B (AFAIK) because it has a hard ocular.
I would be glad to know their optics specifications and what would be a fair price por both. He is asking U$ 800....
The pictures he sent to me are very small but they are...
Hello,
Yesterday in late evening I made some quick tests between these Binoculars looking at far buildings. My findings and a friend with me were:
Zeiss 10x42 FL non-Locutec: Best overall performance. No question: Best resolution, best CA control, perfect collimation in this unite, largest...
Hello,
This is my first post here!
I use binoculars almost every day, working at the range here in Patagonia. And when I go hunting or seen the country, walking in the mountains.
My first truly good binocular was a very old Swarovski Habitch 10x40 W I bought used in 1981. I paid then a...
