    Combined thermal and binoculars

    I recently paid infiray xh09 x2, and even w/ default x2 magnification (image almost as the eyes see), it's really nice to spot the birds with. They like bulbs in grass and bit less visible, but on threes also. Thermal monocular w/ good magnification it's must have device 👍

    Zeiss CHD 8x32 vs Nikon MHG 8x42

    In fact i have a friend which is in ukraine army, so we was chatting about binos and "way to go". Cause modern models lost lot of good features that old binos had (example is the "step" inside which is less strong and that increase internal réflections & color/contrast loss). Also coating...

    Zeiss CHD 8x32 vs Nikon MHG 8x42

    I wanna review thisone, but need to build a demostand 🤔 I have tripod, but for photocam. Need to see how to use it w/ that binos (it have a hole). Also how to take legit photos via my dslr. To compare colors & colorchecker. Also find good CA and distorsion examples from IRL (targets i can...

    Zeiss CHD 8x32 vs Nikon MHG 8x42

    Once at home i will use tripod and my dslr for colors teste. But actually it's pretty nice. Distorsion is low (at the edges), almost no CA. Pretty good binos. Some photos from hands & my phone

    Zeiss CHD 8x32 vs Nikon MHG 8x42

    Well, try Meopta. The image is pretty good. Stars are great, during the day i don't see CA. Distorsion ? Well i will make tests w/ a special target. Also for colors i have colorchecker. Meopta is awesome 😁 This night was sitting on a balcon and watching stars. There are lights in a city.. seen...

  8. Run away!

    Run away!

    Correct me if i'm wrong, it looks like glaucous gull. Was walking on the beach and seen these gulls, had F1.4 on my 50mm, so i was lucky & fast enough to MF and shot that bird :)

    Canon EOS 80D always slightly "fuzzy"

    Also low F (=higher values) decrease AF speed if you use AF. High ISO reduce your camera DD and eat the colors. 1/800 ISO500 have same light that 1/8000 ISO5000 for the same F. But you will get better colors w/ iso500. Also to remove shaking use a monopod, it's pretty good (long which on the...

    Budget Canon lens

    The most sharpest awesome and budget Canon EF prime is 300/4 no IS. Old and sweet white EF. Sadly it's not 400mm you looking for.

    Canon EOS 80D always slightly "fuzzy"

    Hi, i use 80D also, it's perfect camera to shoot far objects (pixel density same as 5Ds but fps 3 times faster). High pixel density helps you to shoot from far & crop the middle (middle part in lenses is most sharp). About fuzzy: it's related to your AF, your hand shakings & shutter speed. You...

    Zeiss CHD 8x32 vs Nikon MHG 8x42

    Btw what i'm worried about Zeiss are: • mechanical issues (dioptries & collimation, seen at least 2 threads here about that) • crappy "blackened" internal surfaces About internal painting: Ziess CHD 8x32 from that video looks like Zeiss Jena 50/2.8 M42 which i had once, ± same poor...

    Zeiss CHD 8x32 vs Nikon MHG 8x42

    Thanks for the reflections! But if i will target Zeiss SFL i could target also Leica. it's bit beyond my start budget. Wow really good video! I will try to google the same about 8x32 Zeiss for the curiosity purposes.

    Zeiss CHD 8x32 vs Nikon MHG 8x42

    Hi folks! These days during the sales these 2 models almost cost the same (CHD just 10€ cheaper). I googled and found the topics ( SLC, Monarch HG, Conquest or Trinovid ? & Nikon Monarch HG or Zeiss Conquest HD ) where lot of positive votes went to Nikon. Weight difference (guess ~200g) aren't...
