Like what others mentioned, I manage to try out a NL 10x42 last week at a shop, its dazzling clear and it feels like my kid will like it better than me. Its wickedly appealing! The EL 12x is already very clear and I have been looking for a 12x for my raptor watch beginning in November. I will be...

Does anyone have any experience in using either? I understand Photographers prefer the STX but ATX allows easier viewing? Please share your experience. Thanks!

anyone uses 1 the birding backpack from Vanguard? How does it fit a scope with bino, camera etc. Most importantly the ergonomic of carrying it. Thanks! https://youtu.be/brzd6z3YZk8 https://youtu.be/op2SY99-lHo

Hello and welcome! Please share your experience/opinion! Love to hear from u soon!

Thanks guys for sharing your thoughts and to confirm my thoughts of owning different lines and experiencing it differently! Really appreciate the insights! :-)

Thank you so much for sharing your insights! This is invaluable info to newbies like myself. I came from photography world and Leica is the only name I have heard besides some occasional Zeiss brand mentions and Swarovski is jewellery in my country :-). I decided on the swarovski for a few...

Thanks for providing your valuable pointers and the link! Yes I'm not wearing glasses hence both seems appealing to me. One observation I do have for my existing SV 8.5x42 is that I do get blind spot quite often and have to adjust my viewing position whereas leica allows me to just get it right...

Hi all, apologise if this topic had been discussed just unable to find it in a topic hence would like to pose my question here. I’m in the market for a 12x, Zeiss doesn’t have it locally so I’m into a Leica and a swarovski. I have access and tried both, (for a short period only) each has its...

Hi all, I’m consider new to the world of optics, specifically on binos. In fact this equipment just came into my life about a year and a half ago when i go into birding. Previously I’m into photography, more on nature/landscape but turn portraits. Went into birding since late 2017-early 2018...

Hi all, I have a noob question about this piece of equipment. I know the magnification allows the owner to view birds at much further distance than eyes can see. I have a few hesitation on using it, need some clarity/advice/comments pls: 1. Setting up is so slow Similar to the digital camera...

Thanks for the pointers and reminder! Indeed from a photographer background, going closer and clearer has always part of a photographer instinct and we take all sorts of angles and distance to frame the subject. Something that I realise that it may not be so when doing bird watching. (at least...

I've been also thinking of investing in a 12x50 be it the SV EL or the Leica. For those who have been using a 12x50 as well as owning a 8x, what are you major difference you can be expecting?

Hi all, Newly joined in this forum, I’m from a tiny country in the equator that doesn’t really have a lot of nature. I was into photography for more than 2 decades, didn’t really wanted to go into birding due to high equipment costs. Recently I jump into it and realise I know next to nothing...
