For 10x42 EL in Large Binoculars

Price

Pros
  • grip, true color, balance
Cons
  • focus, case with no strap
Hard to believe no other reviews! Have both 10x and 8.5x (have to wrangle with wife for the 10\'s...) and both are great. The fine focus is still not to my liking after a year\'s use but is getting a little looser. Both came with a great hard case that I will never use, but I sure wish the soft case had a strap on it as it tends to slip out of your hands. I like the rigid eye cover as it\'s easier to manipulate with gloves than a soft one. Helps that with two pair I don\'t have to adjust often I guess. Deep inset on lenses seems to keep more dust out then my older Bushnell. Looked hard at Zeiss Victory II before buying these, but after holding there was no comparison for my wife!
V
For Diascope 85FL in Large Spotting Scopes
Recommended
Yes
Price
1450$
Pros
  • weight, FOV, balance
Cons
  • focus knob broke!
Great scope! Angled lens and body swivel very good for \"Mutt & Jeff\" couples with large heigth difference. Coarse focus knob suddenly became free spinning - has to go back to Germany for repair but agent promises a loaner for the 6-8 weeks. Great being able to turn \"dots\" into identifiable ducks from dawn to dusk!
