Sightron SIII 8x32 ED (1 Viewer)

Has anyone tried these? I talked with Sightron and they told me they were made in Japan which is encouraging. Since so many like the SII it would be interesting to see how these compare.

Is this binocular a new product from Sightron?

Their website isn't real helpful about this. Clicking on the "Binocular Manual" didn't help much. It isn't listed in it.

Yes. New model. See them for sale on several website so I thought someone here might have tried them.

What websites do you see a SII ED bin?

Sightron shows an ED in SIII.

I have no idea, never heard of a SIIED. Topic is SIII ED. Wondering how they compare to the SII

My mistake. Perhaps I require corrective lens.

Sightron SIII 8x32mm Magnesium, MPN: SIIIMS832, is 4 bills no mention of ED. Sightron SIII 8x32mm ED, MPN: SIII832ED, is 40 clams less. Sightron SIII Magnesium Series 8x32 tactical, MPN: SIIIMS832TAC, is 430 all via OP.

All three on Sightron site claim fov of 394' though the Tactical mag, w/tactical reticle, has 7.5* on the body. The MS32 mag has two views w/one showing 6.5* the other w/o degree. Both mag mods listed at 19.7oz w/ED at 21.16oz. I cannot see the ED focus wheel where info is available instead of the body.

I would attempt contact w/Sightron for a timeline of introduction. On OP only the ED model has no specs & it's the cheapest of the three roof prism SIII 8x32.

ED is the newest model and according to Sightron CS has the best optics. The older models probably cost more because they have magnesium bodies. Tactical is green instead of black. Don't really care about that too much though, I was just hoping someone had seen the ED model and could provide some feedback. FrankD perhaps?
