    KENKO 15x42 stabilized binoculars

    It's doable to see full field of view with glasses with eyecups completely down, but barely- no excess in eye relief in that case. Now, after using them quite a while, I can write more about IQ. Pros. 1. Very low CA for such achromat lenses: undetectable in center, minute at peripherical (lower...

    KENKO 15x42 stabilized binoculars

    Never tried 2 modes IS (only had Canon 10x30 before). Kenko automatic mode feels like just one fluid mode- I didn't saw drastic changes in IS behavior or any transition between two modes.. But Kenko IS very effective though. It's not perfect: it like vibrations goes thru low pass filter (when...

    KENKO 15x42 stabilized binoculars

    About the flare: similar or a little bit better than Canon 10x30II: up to 30 degrees from the Sun nothing, Only from about 20 deg or less a little flare at the side opposite to the Sun (horizontally- Sun is low at my location now)

    latest incarnation of Kamakura's designed stabilized binoculars, this time as Kenko 15x42 Cellarto. Just got one and this is very first impressions. excellent image stabilization: much better than my current Canon 10x30II. good image quality, at least like the Cannon's: sharp up to 80% of images...

    Armasight 10x42RF binoculars

    Hi! Just spotted recent photo of Herzi Halevi Israeli Chief of Staff with Armasight 10x42RF binoculars. Just curious- why this specific model?

    Binocular IS small and light.

    x8 definitely not worth it: I recommend at list 10x30, especially, it's almost the same dimensions

    Allbinos review of Canon 10x30 IS

    I haven't any problem to use my scope with zoom eyepiece set to the same 1.8mm pupil as in TS 16x28, so, I think it may be OK for day observations.

    Allbinos review of Canon 10x30 IS

    as a "mobile" variant I think Fuji 12x28 should be considered

    Allbinos review of Canon 10x30 IS

    I haven't any problems with Chrome, and Yes- a lot of commercials, but my ad block is pretty effective

    Allbinos review of Canon 10x30 IS

    On polish (original :-)) site (use google translate): Test lornetki Canon 10x30 IS II - Test lornetki - Optyczne.pl As an owner of this glass- I pretty agree with their conclusions, except for detestable eyecups. my solution to buy and "customize" 40mm rubber microscope eyecups ($9 from...

    Product Review: Opticron Adventurer T WP 6.5 x 32

    Another observation: how small central sharpness area is. I estimate only 50% (radially) is in excellent focus, rest is blurred due to field curvature. It was really unpleasant, so all that wide view area is mostly un-useful. May be I to spoiled by binoculars with decent flat views (CANON 10x30...

    Product Review: Opticron Adventurer T WP 6.5 x 32

    Got my T WP 6.5 x 32 today from Amazon UK: unfortunately, binoculars arrived noticeably uncollimated, though I was able to converge images by straining my eyes, but this isn't great viewing experience. Also, diopter adjustment ring isn't centered: for my eyes I usually need only slight turn...
