    Bushnell Rangemaster FPO (Fuji) 7x35 10deg

    Yeah I agree with what you say. I did Some one on one viewing with the 8x30 yesterday, and the Bushnell 10deg appears just as sharp on axis at this stage, but appears to have a fatter sweet spot. The 8x30 offer incredible depth of field and a beautiful 3D image. Some people have criticised...

    Bushnell Rangemaster FPO (Fuji) 7x35 10deg

    I was thinking of a superb modern day porro with which a sensible comparison could be made. So, this afternoon I had the Bushnells out on my deck, side by side with the outstanding and very similarly wide angled Nikon 8x30 Ell - a familiar and excellent 'yardstick' binocular for many...

    Bushnell Rangemaster FPO (Fuji) 7x35 10deg

    Before the service I forgot to put up a before service photo of the innards. Check it out. I posted a comment a while back regarding binocular access and service in my area and feeling like I lived in the last outpost of the western world...well, since then I phoned Zeiss Australia in...

    Bushnell Rangemaster FPO (Fuji) 7x35 10deg

    Last pic for now. I haven't fully evaluated the view through them yet (It's raining out) but the collimation is now perfect. It's easy to see that the clarity and ease of view and depth of field is monstrous. So is the FOV. Many many thanks to the forum members who put me onto these. It's...

    Bushnell Rangemaster FPO (Fuji) 7x35 10deg

    The Zeiss man now has my non silver ring range masters (they look very similar) to service. They are also putrid internally, but it's easy to spot the potential. Another shot of the silver ring range master back from service.

    Bushnell Rangemaster FPO (Fuji) 7x35 10deg

    I'm slightly surprised that the optics have cleaned up as well as they have. This Zeiss man is brilliant. He spent 20 years working at Zeiss.

    Bushnell Rangemaster FPO (Fuji) 7x35 10deg

    The Bushnells have been serviced Ok thanks for the link. I did search but couldn't come up with it initially. Anyway, it just happens that today I collected the Rangemasters from the Zeiss man. Fully cleaned, serviced and collimated. They are absolutely stunning. No cleaning work has been...

    Bushnell Rangemaster FPO (Fuji) 7x35 10deg

    Hi all, I didn't see a dedicated thread for these. I've just given my pair of 'silver ring' FPO Rangemaster 7x35 to an ex zeiss technician (of 20yrs) to service. He was originally going to do my standard 10deg 7x35 Rangemaster, but I figured the silver ring model could possibly benefit more...
