    Pentax 6.5x21 and 8.5x21 differences

    Hello, I too have both the 6.5 and 8.5. I'm highly delighted with both. But for NO REASON what so ever, I find that I nearly always take the 6.5 with me. On thinking about it now. I suppose it's because I use them to observe insects that are only feet and inches away from me. But...

    Animals skinned alive

    I do believe that everyone has a right to an opinion. Agreeable or otherwise. As this sub order cannot sink any lower in society than they already are. It is hoped than any advancement in 'Humanities' will be considered a step in the right direction. I would like to thank the moderators for...

    Blind Binocular Test

    Steve, I totally agree with you and your aims. Sometimes I think we live in the Kingdom where the king had a new suit. 1) Can a medium vest be sold as a short mans long vest or a tall mans short vest without causing a reaction? 2) Are a pair of mid priced bino's (at the top end of...
