The "new" BVD gives a thumbs up to everything.

Here I thought I was the only one that noticed that.
The question should be though, is everything that good or do they only choose to review the products that are good to begin with?
I'm just thankful I own a BVD Overall Best Birding Binocular!
What I really loved was that, immediately after taking over for Mr. Ingraham (who leaves to go to work for Zeiss,) his successors announce the crowning of a new "reference standard" in the Zeiss FL knocking the Nikon Venturer (Premier LXL) out of its long held place. (Coincidence? Maybe and then again maybe not.) What was really infuriating is that he did so without even doing a side-by-side comparison of the two.
I wrote the above as a bit of humor, implying that BVD isn't what it used to be. The jpgs are enormous, the reviews appear more promotional than analytical, and the site hasn't been organized for a long time. Considering the enormous number of binoculars available in the marketplace, I think it's unrealistic to expect a non-profit site to produce anything but ad-hoc reviews of selected optics. C'est la vie!John Traynor said:o I'm just thankful I own a BVD Overall Best Birding Binocular!
