    Swarovski Habicht 7x42 dissection

    I would not loosen the screw, because I consider this "stiffness" an advantage. Maybe if I frequently shared the binoculars with someone with a different IPD, maybe only then would I loosen the screw

    Is the Nikon HG 8x30 worth twice the price of the new Nikon M7 8x30?

    I measuring/estimated Edge Resolution exactly the same how I measuring Central Resolution, with resolution chart! Allbinos dont do so!

    Is the Nikon HG 8x30 worth twice the price of the new Nikon M7 8x30?

    In allbinos review that you linked it is about comparation between MHG 8x30 vs old Monarch7 8x30, not the new M7 8x30! So I compare MHG 8x30 with same allbinos old Monarch7 8x30. You dont compare same binoculars like me and allbinos. You have the new M7 8x30. Allbinos edge performance...

    Is the Nikon HG 8x30 worth twice the price of the new Nikon M7 8x30?

    I remind you, Allbinos is a collection of numbers in tables that only give you a general impression, not a precise impression of the binoculars. It is somehow similar to a phone book of binoculars. Because, to compare two binoculars, when it comes to the blur on the edges, Allbinos is based only...

    Nikon HG 8x30 dissection

    The construction and optics of this Nikon Monarch HG 8x30 exude quality "through every pore." The Japanese know how to make things pleasing to the eye!

    Fogging oculars...just NL's or all new production Swaros?

    Some eyepieces eyecups are more thermo conductive than others, even than different binoculars model of the same brand. Depending on how much metal the eyecups tubes contain from one model to another that make contact with cold lenses...

    Fogging oculars...just NL's or all new production Swaros?

    If the eyecup body tube is made of metal, then the heat of the eyes skin is transmitted more easily to the lenses. Even if there is rubber on the contact surface, sometimes the warm skin can touch the metal element a little, creating a thermal bridge between the warm eye and the cold lens, thus...

    Can a 30-year-old porro compete with a new alpha? Really!

    I am "Tudor" on Allbinos owners reviews section. Now I understand! I forgot that I posted the same words on allbinos Habicht 7x42 customer review section! It's my fault that I forgot that I posted these words there too!

    All these are my words from my "Habicht 7x42 dissection", they are NOT from Allbinos who speak more in numbers and tables! Can you put a link where you got these?!...or you messed up the quotes!

    Nikon HG 8x30 dissection

    I use APM SemiAPO 70mm/45⁰ for "grab and go" nature and astronomy, and big Omegon Acrhromat 100mm/90⁰ only for astronomy. I use Omegon 100mm on big E-Image GH10L mount for astronomy Eyepieces pairs: TeleVue Plossl 32mm (12.5x / 17x) Zeiss 25mm ortho (microscope), Fujiyama ortho 25mm, Leica...

    Field Review of my (four) binoculars and my gear setup

    Nikon MHG 8x30 in the field. Even if the body is very small, the focus wheel is large allowing fine adjustments even with gloves. It is also in the perfect natural position for the index finger! I keep my MHG 8x30 hanging on the shoulder strap of the backpack with Peakdesign system. I also use...

    Nikon HG 8x30 dissection

    In other words, outside of the general volum there is no other difference, what I already sad! But HG 8x30 is smaller than HG 8x42 in all dimensions not only in length, resulting obviously a smaller volume and a lower weight! When we want something smaller and compact we choose 8x30 HG vs 8x42...

    Nikon HG 8x30 dissection

    Put HG 8x42 next to HG 8x30 and you will immediately see the difference in general volum size. What a stupid discussion. Put the HG 8x42 next to the Zeiss Victory Pocket 8x25 and you will see what a huge difference it is, not like in the case of the HG 8x30 as in the picture above. HG 8x42 is...

    Nikon HG 8x30 dissection

    Yes, the Nikon HG 8x42 is among the smallest in the 42mm class, but it doesn't compare to even smaller brother 8x30 HG. HG 8x30 it's a really small pair of binoculars with tube diameters not much larger than Zeiss Victory 8x25!!!. His 30mm diameter is therefore much smaller than 42mm bigger...

    Nikon HG 8x30 dissection

    Vampires have never been seen in Romania, only on TV :) Instead, there are many bats, big owls, wolves and bears :) At night I mostly use Habicht 7x42, and for astronomy I use big 70mm and 100mm binoculars with many eyepices! I haven't tried the Nikon 8x42 HG yet, but I'm sure it's so good...

    My HG focuser has a small feeling of viscosity but with good precision! As I use it, I like this wonderful tiny Nikon HG 8x30 more and more!

    Overlapped image for first 3-5 seconds only

    It means that your binoculars maybe are slightly out of colimation. Our brain makes corrections to binoculars that are a little off collimation. This is why such binoculars give us head pain over time, because our brain compensates by an unnatural positioning of our eyes. This adaptation to...

    Zeiss SF 10x42 dissection

    The futuristic design still has something of the classic lines (a kind of Mercedes of binoculars). The fleshy body with curved lines helps to feel the consistency when gripping. Also, the slightly elastic armor prevents the binoculars from slip out of hand The beautiful coating of the...

    For the same model of roof binoculars which one is less prone for CA 8x32 or 8x42?

    I borrowed the medical term "dissection" with the meaning of presentation of my binoculars in the smallest hidden details and aspects, like a detailed medical report. I know, "dissection" it sounds macabre in any language, but that's not my intention, it's just a figure of speech 😁. Binolover, I...
