    Maven 7x45 and 6x30 binoculars

    I have no idea at all what he is getting at either. That is some other binocular than a Maven he is talking about. You'd need to be equipped with a good strap wrench and a dose of motivation to remove the objective rings on any of my Mavens. If you were ever able to get those off, then of...

    Maven 7x45 and 6x30 binoculars

    I suppose the above portions of your post pretty well define the draw I find with both the 7x and 9x45 B2. Sometimes a different take from another source is needed to clarify some things. While the 7x45 is not so apparently wide as its older 9x brother, the increase of dof in combination with...

    Maven 7x45 and 6x30 binoculars

    AFOV is sort of a hard thing to get your mind around. For one thing the magnification of the binocular has a profound effect on the AFOV, as does the angular FOV. The difference I think is best when comparing two similar binoculars of different magnifications with nearly the same angular FOV...

    Maven 7x45 and 6x30 binoculars

    Chuck, I checked the fov first at 10 yards, then 100 yards then at almost a mile. The one at a mile is somewhat less precise I suppose, but the fence posts are placed every 10 feet along the fence. I used Google Earth to measure the fence from my vantage spot, both of which are clearly...

    Maven 7x45 and 6x30 binoculars

    Review: Maven B2 7x45 and B 3 6x30 I have had these two binoculars for long enough to feel comfortable with offering the following. As with any review I do, I do it with a single question foremost in my mind. That question is this. If I was in the market for a binocular for my personal use...
