    SVBONY SV202, a Bad Sample?

    Thanks for your confirmation and your personal experience with Vortex ! That's an interesting feedback with the SV202! I also think that someone looking for a cheap pair for his/her first steps in the world of optics would be impressed by this series.

    SVBONY SV202, a Bad Sample?

    The SV202 8x42 was released after the SV 8x32/10x42/10x50. To me, the way they build the SV202 has changed for the 8x42 model. Binocollector said his 8x32 and 10x50 are not affected by this type of reflection. I'm pretty sure that the 10x42 does not have this effect. Your pictures through the...

    SVBONY SV202, a Bad Sample?

    Hello, I have both of them, the SV202 8x42 and the SV202 8x32. I also see the miror effect around the circle of the image on the 8x42 and not on the 8x32. For some of the positive sides of the SV202 8x42, though I consider that there is no really flaws taking account the price for both of...

    Which Binoculars ?

    As you think of Nikon M7 and Monarch HG 8x42, it means that you would appreciate lightweight binoculars providing a wide field of view with ED glass . So, you might be also interesting by the KOWA BD-II XD 8x42. This model appeals me on paper but I have no idea of the balance, color rendition...

    Help me choose binoculars for my son

    A 6 years old kid should have big eye pupils and small interpupillar distance. I would choose an 6x30 or 6,5x32 in porro prism to have at least an exit pupil of 5mm. Otherwise he would not enjoy the eye placement. Moreover, thanks to the large exit pupil and the low magnification, the depth of...

    Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 VS Leica UHD Plus 8x32 (in doubts)

    I have both 8x32, Zeiss Conquest HD et Leica ultravid HD (not the version plus). For me, the Zeiss Conquest HD is amazingly sharp when I look at green objects like trees during summer, maybe sharper than the ultravid. During the last winter, the image was very good but I was not impressed. The...

    I don't know which one is the best, there is the "svbony Official Store" on AliExpress, for example. I bought my SV202 8x42 in this store. The weight is not 480 grammes but 720 grammes. You can also find the device on the official Svbony website : Svbony - Astronomer's favorite brand

    Product Review: The Extraordinary Svbony SV202 8 x 42 ED.

    Yes, the same thing happened to me. The rubber covering came off from the metal part of the eyecups. Nevertheless, this is not a big issue as I said. For example, I can fully retract or extend the metal part and then replace the rubber covering. Or I can press on the rubber covering against...

    Product Review: The Extraordinary Svbony SV202 8 x 42 ED.

    Thanks Neil, I bought these binoculars after reading your review. I also have the 8x32 ed but met an issue a few months later with the rubber of the eyecups, not a big deal. That's why I hesitated to buy the new model. Thanks to your review, I saw that the coating is not exactly the same on...

    What size binoculars do you use for bird watching?

    For birdwatching, I'm mostly using 8x42, 10x42, 8x32. I prefer 10x42 over 8x32 because the twilight factor (the level of details that we can see) in better on the 10x42. During winter, I prefer an 8x42 because the ambiant light is frequently low; the weight is not an issue because my neck is...
