    Swarovski CL 8x25 vs Zeiss Terra ED 8x25: one more comparison

    I tried the Zeiss 8x25 for an extended period over two days. They are good but won’t fit into the “501 front pocket test” I then tried the Curio 7x21 against the Ultravid 8x20. The curios won me over within 30 mins I knew what I was going purchase. It helped that I had both binoculars for two...

    Trinovid. These are my favorite-forever binoculars! I bought two pairs, one pair has arrived the other is on back order. One for the car and one with me. 10% down and 48 months 0% finance was the reason to buy two pairs. I am still loving them. Thank you for your help and guidance. David

    Swarovski Habicht 7x42 dissection

    Swarovski Habicht 7x42 dissection

    Personally I cover up all Logos and branding with black insulating tape. Makes what I am using nondescript. Having been the victim of two separate binocular thefts in the past (obviously I didn't learn the first time) Simple plain neck straps and if a case is required a simple velour is used.
