    Kowa iPhone 4S adapter!

    The two adapters Meopta make do not fit the larger eyepiece of the Prominar TSN-883/884. Super excited for this adapter!!!

    Used 7D

    Hi. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with buying a used 7D. I just recently purchased one for $1100 and the seller guess-estimated that the camera had about 7K clicks on it. The previous owner used the camera mainly for video. I was wondering if the prior video usage could have...

    Spider Holster vs Cotton Carrier 522

    Has anyone compared these two camera holsters before? I like using the black rapid strap while wearing my bins but I think one of these holsters would be even faster and easier to wear/use. What do you think? Thanks!!! Oh and I will be using it with a 400 mm prime lens.

    Lighter weight back up Bino for field use

    Kowa TSN883 or Swarovski 80ATD HD

    Thanks for the responses. I keep hearing that the KOWA is the sharpest scope out there. It is really difficult to do a side by side since most stores do not sell both. I am hesitant to buy the KOWA because it is a Japanese made scope; I have had recent issues with a scope made in Japan, granted...

    Kowa TSN883 or Swarovski 80ATD HD

    I am torn between the KOWA 883 and the Swarovski 80ATD HD. Does anyone have any opinions? The Kowa has some pretty amazing reviews. I have a pair of EL and I love swarovski designs. How does the KOWA compare to the swarovski durability wise. I know the KOWA has better resolution but I am...
