    collimation and contrast field

    Hello guys, I did a little sketch to try to represent the difference between "contrast field" and collimation. The aim is to show that a pair of binoculars can be collimated and still have the two field of view a little bit different. The red cross indicate the overlap point of the two images...

    Victory HT:New Zeiss Homepage

    Henry @ i do not agree with you this time. Both pics have the same details, you just increase the brightness of one pic but details are still the same for both pics and this is not the case in real life. The image even with a 3% increase of brightness keep the same contrast of the original...

    Meopta Meostar

    In Italy meopro 6.5x32 and vortex fury 6.5x32 have the same price. I had the vortex fury 6.5x32 for over 1 year and i had the opportuny to test it against meopro 6.5x32 for 3 days during the last megareview of binomania. The Vortex was a little bit brighter and with better edge performance...

    New Zeiss Conquest HD

    Nothing with a industrial production today is fully made in a country, nothing, not only binoculars. I can tell you without doubt that there is not an alpha binocular made only with materials in the original country. greets

    Meopta Meostar

    Vortex fury 6.5x32 and Meopro 6.5x32 are the same cheap chinese binocular. The only difference is the coating, i tested both and this time, strange but true, i had a preference for the vortex. greets

    Why does Nikon make the best binoculars in the world?

    The EDG series by Nikon for me is still a step below Swarovision series, and i think that the new Zeiss coming out for March will be at least as good as Swarovision. Also Leica most likely will release a new alpha in the 2012, we will see. Anyway i have to agree with those who say that there is...

    A review: Swarovski CL 10x30

    Yes, you got the point, let me try to translate it better: When the sun is just above the horizon the difference between the CL and an alpha/top binoculars is more noticeable. Im not saying this for the optics brightness, as i said before the CL is almost bright as a cheap chinese porro 10x50...

    A review: Swarovski CL 10x30

    YES ! ;) i try to translate better: I consider the performance of the CL a good standard, i think that Swarovski engineers have focused on the optics brightness and center field performance over other aspects, you know, a project is always the result of compromises. So i do not exclude the...

    My Review of a 8x32 EL; 8x30 SLC NEU and a 8x30 CL (all brand new bino's)

    Different binoculars can have the same resolving power and still show us the details in different way. A way better indicator is the transfer contrast at different spatial frequency (MTF). What this mean ? For example two binoculars can resolve the same detail but with a different amount of...

    My Review of a 8x32 EL; 8x30 SLC NEU and a 8x30 CL (all brand new bino's)

    I agree with you, i will do this comparison, maybe also with a Meopta 10x33. There are at least 2 topics about the new CL and i have not read yet something that i did not know before. I find interesting to know how far the performance of the CL are from the alphas but everything i read in...

    My Review of a 8x32 EL; 8x30 SLC NEU and a 8x30 CL (all brand new bino's)

    So you need two more years before find the perfect diopter setting of the new CL 8-P I can tell you that there is not a perfect diopter setting because if you had for example 3 weeks of hard job and you use the binocular, maybe the response of an eye is different from the other because of...

    The new 8x30 CLl's

    My CL 10x30 with a FOV of 57° is not that bad, it is noticeable bigger then my old Vortex Fury 6.5x32 that have 55°. I know that 2° are not that much but looks like the difference is greater... Also the performance at the edge are nice for the class of the instrument, it have not a flat field...

    The new 8x30 CLl's

    Anyone with common sense should understand that the new Swarovski CL has as challengers binos such Meopta BR, Zeiss Conquest, Kowa Genesis, ecc ecc. So compare a CL with a swarovski EL does not show nothing more that what we alredy know: you cannot spend 900 euro and think that you get the...

    The new 8x30 CLl's

    I own a CL 10x30, im very happy with them. Sharpness and contrast are very good, way better then my old Vortex Fury. The sweet spot is at least the 70% of the fov, with perfect pin point stars. At the edge it hold a good sharpness, i think that the 10x has better edge performance then 8x, in...

    "test driving" the Swarovski 8x30 CL

    I will buy soon the 10x30 CL, i need a good compact bino. I was undecided between the Leica Ultravid 10x25 and the new CL 10x30, but Swarovski has better warranty and i think that i can held better the CL and it have larger exit pupil. In my opinion the CL is the right compromise (weight and...
