    Glasses wearers and Ultravid 8x32 HD+

    I have seen several posts on the forums about folks that love this little binocular (there's a lot to love about it!), but there is usually some caution that this particular model with a stated eye relief of 13.3mm, is not for eyeglass wearers. I'm wondering if there are users of this binocular...

    IPD and folks who own the Trinovid HD in 8x32...

    I have a fairly narrow IPD. On most binoculars 58mm is fine for middle distances to infinity, but at closer distances (warbler season) I can start to detect some drop-off in sharpness and the sensation that my eyes are working too hard to merge the image. At 57mm that sensation mostly goes...

    Leica view comparison idea...

    I'm in the market for a Leica bino. For the most part, based on paper stats and overwhelmingly positive reviews, I think I'll end up with the Ultravid HD+ in 7x42, but really I'm considering the 8x42 and the 8x32 and the Retrovid 7x35 and... you get the idea. However, I don't live within a...

    Leica Trinovid HD 8x42 Questions

    Hi all. I've never been able to get my hands on this model/format. I have seen mostly mixed reviews on this binocular on the forum, and was wondering if there was anyone here who has owned and used this model for a long time and could speak to its strengths. I'm aware of the other models in...

    Leica Trinovid Classic (Retrovid) 7x35 or Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32...

    I'm considering buying another binocular to compliment my Leica Ultravid BR 8x20. The little Leicas are always with me wherever I go, and I love them. However, on days when I know I'm going out specifically to use my binoculars while hiking, birdwatching, etc. I think it would be nice to have...

    Digiscoping options for Leica Ultravid 8x20 BR

    Several months ago I purchased a set of Leica Ultravid 8x20 BR binoculars from B&H and have fallen in love with them for general nature observation and birding. I even use them at night sometimes to look at the moon and stars. They are with me wherever I go! Anyway, I've been using them to...

    Nikon Monarch HG 8x42

    I'm considering purchasing a pair of these, but most reviews I've seen and read mention that the locking diopter mechanism is rather flimsy. Do folks who actually own this optic feel this way? Has Nikon corrected this seemingly common issue? Thanks!

    Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 vs. 8x42 for birding

    I recently bought a pair of Zeiss Conquest HDs in the 8x32 format. For me, this is a near-perfect binocular. It has a large FOV at 420 ft and a large AFOV at 64 degrees which provides a very immersive image. It handles well, focuses quickly and smoothly, feels great in the hand, is built like a...

    Hello from Wisconsin!

    This is my first post on the forum. I recently found my old pair of binoculars and have been using them to observe the spring migrations here in Wisconsin. I'm looking forward to learning from you all! Here are some pictures I've taken with my phone through my binoculars for fun.
