off the leash, so to speak. Leica*, go and catch 'em! *Star of the silver screen of the monumental soap "Dogs in Space". Black-and-white only but more drama than Spook and Quirk ever had. -

Howdy Bobby! Was guessing you'd give excuses for not showing up. Will give Wyatt and the Boys a good laugh. And the Mayor, too! I suppose kids have to get a good night's sleep so they won't be drowsy and blink when they start to play with their high def. toys in the bright shining light of the... -

Absolutely! "One man's meat is the other man's lousy luck One man's meat is someone's empty well One man's meat is some guy's aching butt One man's meat is another man's living hell." Deep Purple (The battle rages on, 1993) -

Hello Robert! Let me start by conceding that you have more practical experience with current and past optical offerings and spent more hours using them. It is appreciated. I think we can settle the dispute if me meet tomorrow morning 5 am at the old oak tree at the crossing from which the... -

Hello Kimmo! good morning to Finland. I have tried to attach a pdf. If it did not work, drop me a line at [email protected] I'll send it to you directly. The results are in a neat table. You'll probably have to difficulties, even with the unfamiliar language. A criticism that applies is that they... -

I think that was years ago. I did not find any such instrument in a shop when I was out "on the hunt". You may just send an e-mail to Swarovski and ask them. T -

I think it all boils down to realizing that there is absolutely no way to avoid a direct, side-by-side comparison if you intend to remove all doubt. Maybe you can go by train? Tom -

Frankly: No. In 2006, in a large comparative test done by engineers of a german consumer organization the SLC10x42 achieved better results in the optical tests (Impartial, physical, in the lab) than the Victory 10x42FL. You're up to deciding by yourself what it means, but if it means anything... -

Come on, you're not serious about this statement, are you? It's very strong, and it does not impartially reflect reality "in my eyes" (when they are behind an SLCneu). Thomas -

No. Definitely not. The trinovids have gone out of production, probably for more than one reason. The SLCs are "alive and kicking", so to speak. The get regular technical updates such as the addition of the easy-clean coating only last year. I'd say the SLC is definitely superior to the BAs... -

Ron, only to make the decision-making for you a little bit more difficult yet, if you looking for a high-performance binocular that blows away all other binoculars, you may include, along with the EL32 (and several others), this new model on your shortlist... -

Oh Sancho, why have you retired from naval Service. By the way, the Pequod has lately been seen in the northwestern Pacific by an air surveillance Sea Hawk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SH-60_Sea_Hawk). If was heading towards Seattle - they seem to have business there. Rumours have it they are... -

So you're a great Sinnar then?! I appreciated that before ;) So here we go: "Swisssssssss cheeeeese!" Got it? Large aperture, please. And a softener. Plus some backlight. As no Photoshop is going to wipe out those wrinkles on my old, ramshackle seafarer#s face. Not being able to make a... -

Thank you !! Maybe they could spice it up by having a little contest with a prize draw every now and then. 1st prize: a nice 8x30. I guess we'd all meet there on a daily basis?! Maybe it's comforting to know that their german site is equally poor. No technical specifications on the... -

Well, I am not feeling quite at ease with this judgement. For example, the Leica website contains information that is plain rubbish ("glass made from the crystalline Fluorite..." - pure physical nonsense). You may download a pdf, yes, but you HAVE TO do it if you want any technical... -

It's the aftereffects of both of us having been prisoners in a Swiss Navy interrogation camp once. Clockwork Orange - wasn't that the secret code by which is was known in sec serv circles? No, no. Swiss watches ALWAYS give the precise time, of course. It's this Einstein thing...... yes, this... -

I have not seen them in real life. Shops don't usually have them. I think Swarovski should include them into their package. They look certainly more useful than the snap shot adapter that comes with their binos now. Couldn't care about that. I guess they'll stay in a fixed position. They...
