    Bresser Everest (ED) 8x42

    It is comforting to read this, we are not anymore a few men thinking that porros and especially Nikon porros have extraordinary optical properties. Even their Action VII, which are their low cost bins, have pretty good optics, and are not beatable for their price. Same goes for the better Ex...

    Bresser Everest (ED) 8x42

    Yes and no. In their sweet spot yes, maybe, thanks to the 3D effect and indeed very sharp image. This has to be clearly verified, the Swarovision is as good as the Habicht, or perhaps 95-99% the same. Regarding edge sharpness, the Habicht is destroyed by almost all alpha roofs. If you take...

    Bresser Everest (ED) 8x42

    This is what i explained you when you asked me why i don't garbage the Action VII and the Action Ex, that i pictured around the Habicht. I prefer to use the Action porros instead of 200-400 roofs to go to stadium or outdoor activities with a bit too harsh walking/hiking. You should be aware...

    It is certain that one buying Chinabins at some US shops (eagle optics, adorama...) will spend less $ (€) even with a 45$ shipment. The problem is that as France is in a crucial need of money, the customs put huge taxes on imported products, especially from the US, as our government discovered...

    Bresser Everest (ED) 8x42

    I just had a look at french (means europe) prices, and, the Bresser and the Celestron both are at about 400-500 euros here, and surprisingly the Granite are cheaper. Do we have an issue with importation taxes and a too strong Euro? Noooo... No way to spend 600$ for a Bresser or a Celestron, even...
