    Swift TRILYTE 8x42

    Obviously you are witnessing a new addiction in the making. Two questions come to mind: 1) What would the next logical step up be in the binocular world (from the Swift)? AND 2) The mention about keeping a pair in the car. I've always been told never to leave binos in the car because the...

    Swift TRILYTE 8x42

    It's a problem I have with musical instruments as well. Each bino was good, but different. The Swift just felt like a major leap forward.

    Swift TRILYTE 8x42

    Really wasn't even looking to buy. Tried a bunch (Audubons), but when I picked these up - WOW. Image was wonderfully clear (at least as opposed to my Nikon Prostaff ATB 9x25). They felt comfortable and sturdy. Just can't seem to find a lot of info on this board about them after several...

    Swift TRILYTE 8x42

    Hi - Was just at a birding store hoping to check out the Audubon Raptors. They didn't have them, but they did have some other Audubon's and Swifts. After trying a bunch, I ended up purchasing the Seift Trilyte 8x42. MUCH better than all the others there. Plus, the store was having a 50%...

    Bushnell Spectator / Banner 7-15 x 35 Zoom binoculars

    The ones I haven't certainly aren't very good. Bought them, if I remember correctly, about 5 - 6 years ago. Close-out for I think either 50 or 75 bucks. Awkward to focus, heavy, not great image quality. Just took them out of the box this week to check them out. Not very impressive. Did I...

    Nikon ProStaff

    I've got the Nikon Prostaff ATB 9x25, and they are waterproof.

    Bushnell Spectator / Banner 7-15 x 35 Zoom binoculars

    The other thread triggered this question. I have a pair of these, gotten, I believe, cheaply about 5 years ago. I've done a search on this forum, and really can't find the info I'm looking for. Google left me lacking as well. The book says that they are either SPECTATOR or BANNER series, 7...

    New to this bird watching concept. Just picked up some binoculars for upcoming vacations, and started to explore options - stumbled upon this site, which is very cool. Behind my home is a hiking park - about 25 feet behind my deck, so I have a nice view. Thought birding might be a fun thing...
