    Bring Back Premium Porros! Please respond only once

    It's interesting to imagine how much you would pay for your dream glass. A 6x SE is my dream. How much would I pay? About a grand.

    Zen Ray porros?

    A 6x porro with optics on par with the 7x E, longer eye relief, ergonomics of the SE, and typical Nikon silky smooth focus is what blissful dreams are made of.

    Mutant binos...EII´s?

    I believe it was the 7x and 8x from which he made a 6x and 9x. Have had it rattling around in the back of my mind ever since I read it originally.

    Keeper binoculars

    Yes, I agree about the Nikon 7x35E. For me, too, it's a real gem. My first one was purchased about twenty years ago. My second pair a few years ago when a mint condition one was offered on Ebay. I still use the first. The second I keep as a spare. It's the only glass I've ever felt the...

    A hypothetical situation, sort of...

    Don't know about the Swift or Vortex. I did a side by side comparison of the 6x Ranger and Katmai several months ago. IMO, it was the Eagle Optics hands down. Impressive optics, silky smooth focus, and good ergonomics for me. Good eye relief for eyeglasses, if that's important. Several...

    Getting an Ultravid off Ebay?

    I purchased a pre-owned Ultravid from Doug. My understanding from Doug is that pre-owned might mean show sample or taken out of inventory for some other reason. When I ordered, Doug said if I could tell a difference between mine and "new" to send it back. The Ultravid I received looked like...

    best 7x35 porros?

    Throw in my vote for the Nikon E's. For my eyes, hands, and type of viewing I do, A true classic - maybe the best 7x35 ever!

    Question about eye relief/FOV

    It's my understanding that, generally speaking, eye relief and FOV are often inversely proportional. What is the affect, if any, roof vs porro design has on this?

    rubber eye cups for Leitz bidoxit

    Your reference to the 8x30 EII is interesting being that my other woodland glass is a Nikon 7x35 E (late model with coated optics). I believe it's one of the best 7x35's ever. I still, though, enjoy the Bidoxit. For me, the total is greater than the sum of it's parts. All in all, good vibes...

    rubber eye cups for Leitz bidoxit

    Thanks for the "bad" news. I've emailed Leica requesting any info and am awaiting reply. The little porro is a real pleasure to take to the woods but with my glasses, I could use a bit more eye relief.

    rubber eye cups for Leitz bidoxit

    Hello, I would like to replace the eye cups on a Leitz Wetzlar 6x30 bidoxit with fold-down rubber type. Anyone with experience doing that or knowledge with what will fit or where to find such information? Thnaks.
