    Especially the soft top. That leather will outlast the rest of the case.

    Prepping the original case for my 10X35 with a piece of leather from "Michaels" hobby store.

    Nikon 10X35 E "C"

    Well I've been back and forth with my 10X35 E and I decided to keep them. I'll take them along in the daytime for when I need a little more mag. Those wide angle e/p are actually quite nice! Also with the 8X42 HG no need for the 7X35 E so I'll pass them on.

    Nikon 10X35 E "C"

    My 7X35 E "C" arrived from Japan today in very, very nice condition! I miss the ones I sold.................... Nice case too, though seems like all the "E"s from Japan come with the black case but that's ok as this one's in new cond!

    Here is the smaller 8x30 HG with field flattener https://www.birdforum.net/threads/nikon-hg-8x30-dissection.421018/

    I don't know what you have over there but here Just the M5, M7 and HG series. Don't need a 30mm anyway.

    Yes, the Monarch 8X42 HG has a field flattener. https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/binoculars/monarch-hg-8x42.html

    That is the Monarch HG here.

    Well the M7's are going back to Nikon, way to much field curvature! I'll be ordering the Monarch 8X42 HG. If the M7's had a flatter field I would keep them.

    Nikon 10X35 E "C"

    No because I'm happy with my HR5 for daytime and 35mm is too small for astronomy. I will keep the 10X35 E to suppliment my HR5 when I need a little more mag. I have a dark site 45minutes away, an arboretum on top of a small mountain that's also a good birdwatching spot. My Hr5's are plenty...

    Well I sold the Celestron Ultimas (250.00 shipped) and the M7's arrive tomorrow and hopefully they will perform as good as My Audubon HR5's at night (Same FOV, 8.3). I'll be taking my 10X35E along birdwatching. Yesterday a pair of bluebirds wouldn't come closer than 100' and that little bit more...

    You were right, the 50's trounced the 35's. Also the fall off at the edge of the 50's is less noticeable at night. Still, a wider field would be nice! For now I'll keep the 10X35 for now, good for daytime longer distance. Not a lot of $ tied up in them. I ordered a pair of Monarch M7 8X42 from...

    Ultima is an 80's-90's made in Japan bin. (FMC and BAK 4) with only 5 degree FOV and quite a lot of fall-off at the edges. Otherwise quite sharp and nicely built.

    Hope to try out my 10X35E tonight on some stars, 6.6 degree v/s my Ultima 10X50 5 degree. I'm hoping the extra FOV (and sharper to the edge) and ease of handling will make up for the loss of light G.

    Nikon 10X35 E "C"

    Don't really like to drag my Swifts out at night, I didn't really expect the E to out perform an HR5 in the daytime anyway. Of course I was using them at fairly close distance. I had a 7X35E that I definitely liked better for daytime use. Do you think a look through the 8X30Eii would pry the...

    Nikon 10X35 E "C"

    Tried them out against my Audubon 8.5X44 HR5's today and no match for that wide beautiful FOV! On the other hand I'll be comparing them to my heavy and bulky 10X50 Celestron Ultima's for astronomy if it ever stops raining! I think at night they may be just the ticket. If not maybe Eii's?

    My 10X35 E arrived from Japan today, excellent condition, very happy!
