I received an old "grey bodied" 8x30 EII in a trade that had several black specks in the view. I contacted Nikon and they took it in, fixed the black speck problem and tightened up the hinge and diopter ring. All for free under there No Fault Lifetime Warranty on optics.

Don't have any experience with the Old AT80 but I do have a ED82. Since you plan on using a 25-50x zoom on the Swaro, have you considered simply trying the 50x wide angle eyepiece on the ED82? I have used this in the past and found it worked wonderful although slightly darker image than the...

Looking at all the post the OP has made it would appear that all he is interested in is what "others" see to satisfy his curiosity. Nase, I would suggest doing research (web searches, actually reading posts) about the bins you are curious about compare the input and build an idea around that...

The difference is what YOUR eyes see..........8-P

This has to be a joke right?? To the OP I have the Nikon SE 8x32 and 10x42. I use the vortex connectors and the RY ultra light harness. Highly recommend the RY harness, have it on all my bins except for my loaners. I would suggest you use the vortex connectors as they work better with these...

Chosun, Since no shops in my country stock the ZORK Thagmeister eV8888 Eyeballizers. Can you tell me if it will provide a WOW view, with excellent contrast, Sparkle, sharpness, CA control and 3D view? Also how does it do on glare when viewing Mountain Goats and my Mothers Basement? This is...

You can "Save" over $400 by pre ordering from B&H 3:-) https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1349418-REG/kowa_tsn_553_15_45x55_compact_spotting.html I still doubt its over $1000 better than my ED50:h?: Reminds me of this "Deal" I found on a 884 paperweight ...

Glad that I could help with your quest. I knew you would love the EII's, I'm guessing/hoping you picked up the pair cycleguy was selling? Unless its pouring rain like the first time we met I wouldn't worry to much about it. Just make sure you keep the rainguard on, and keep the bin under...

Sure!....Don't forget the beer B (:

I had a EDIII Fieldscope (60mm version) that looked like that inside. Never had a problem with in fact it gave awesome views and I'm sure it still does. I always just assumed it was a funky looking anodizing job that probably still passes qc since its inside the tube and not a cosmetic...

This is gonna sound weird but......Was this picture taken in a front yard in Pigeon Point West Seattle??

Damn, wish I could get this deal in the US. Would love to give these bins a try. :t:

My thoughts are to take the feeders down at night, but Bears may learn to come during the day I suppose. I had a similar situation, except for the Bears. I have a feeder hidden in the woods near my house where I go birding almost daily. That feeder kept getting raided at night and during...

I have noticed that the my eyes see colors differently as well. For me my left eye has slightly more vivid colors than my right. Very small difference but the difference is there for sure. I noticed this when comparing spotting scopes and eyepieces. The view with my left eye is just a...
