    Mystery bird from German DVD

    Hello all, On a DVD about birds, which I got as a gift, I found this bird which they call a "nightingale". What is it? Thanks a lot.

    Nikon M7 8x30 vs. Kite Lynx HD 8x30

    That truly amazes me! There was someone else here recently, who was from South-East-Asia (was it Singapore?), who said the same thing. Why is that? Why these huge differences? Imagine someone buying an expensive binocular in Japan getting 1 year of warranty, someone else in Europe for the same...

    Nikon M7 8x30 vs. Kite Lynx HD 8x30

    Nikon´s warranty Just a small update on the “small print” of the Nikon warranty. The warranty card says: 5 years for repair work and materials + 5 years for materials only. This is for Europe (at least for the EU) of course. And it says furthermore: The warranty is not transferable! If this...

    Nikon M7 8x30 vs. Kite Lynx HD 8x30

    Thank you, David & Pompadour. David, yes, it´s impossible to know just yet wether the small differences between the two is because of sample variation or a different design - apart from the bigger FOV, because that is obvious. Pompadour, your are right, the second photo was probably...

    Nikon M7 8x30 vs. Kite Lynx HD 8x30

    Some more observations: The View: First of all, I´m a little confused as the difference in FOV between the Kite Lynx and the Monarch 7 seems more obvious than the difference between Kite Lynx and Conquest HD, which cannot be true if the numbers on paper are correct. The Kite Lynx has obviously...

    Nikon M7 8x30 vs. Kite Lynx HD 8x30

    Thanks, David & Gijs. I´ll have a look at distortions tomorrow morning. Henry, are the attached photos of any help? First two are with flash alone, last two with one fixed light source without flash. Are the differences of the reflections off the eyepieces an indicator for different designs? .

    Nikon M7 8x30 vs. Kite Lynx HD 8x30

    I had some more time with both binoculars and compared them also to the Conquest HD 8x32, which is not totally fair, given their difference in price and objective size, but just as an additional reference point. Again, everything below is just my personal view and only of the specific samples I...

    Nikon M7 8x30 vs. Kite Lynx HD 8x30

    Since I can not change the title of this thread (http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=271312) I open up a new one to post the findings of the comparison between the Kite Lynx 8x30 and the Nikon Monarch 7 8x30. The Nikon arrived today and I´d like to give a quick first impression. As was...

    Cornell Lab Review - Zeiss Did Very Well Here

    As we have discussed in the German Forum, the focus of the 8x42 (not sure about the 10x42) is slower than the 8x32. That could be a reason why the problems seem to be with the 8x32. .

    Small birds at Elmley, Kent, UK

    Sorry, I´m trying to understand why they can´t be twites. Is it because of the colour of the bill? Or are there other factors. Thank you!

    Cornell Lab Review - Zeiss Did Very Well Here

    Well, I am one of those who had repeatedly problems with the Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 - not just one unit, but different samples. Always it is the focus and the eyecups. The focus is still not perfect. In the eyecups´ mechanics, for example, I have no trust anymore and try to move them as little...
