UP 8x25 WP
Ok I'm finished deliberating as it wasn't that hard. The UP does improve as the daylight appears and you can see that the colour is quite a lot more prevalent with the UP than with the Papilio a bit like my old Hawke Sapphire compared to the more recent one I got but I still liked the old one... -

UP 8x25 WP
Guys, enough about Pentax dealers please. Be getting light (ish) in an hour or so and I don't think it's going to take me very long to discover that I don't need another lemon. Already got the Bresser 8x288-P which might possible even be better than this UP. Certainly not as bulky or heavy... -

UP 8x25 WP
ok more tonight. Just did a bit of comparing with the UP, Papilio, Vistron and Bresser 8x28. A street sign about 100m off, street lamp light. Papilio was the only one I could clearly read the text with. Vistron had the best large view and is the best to handle. UP maybe comes 3rd. It's... -

UP 8x25 WP
That's brilliant. I'm sitting here with my Viking Vistron 8x25 (no longer made it seems) and I always said that the Vixen Atrek seemed to be the same bin and my thoughs have been the same as yours in that it's the first 8x25 I have come across that I thought was in any way how a good 8x25... -

UP 8x25 WP
No idea what this is like but since I just ordered one I hope to find out quite soon. The 6.5x21 Papilio I got is so good I always had my eye on the UP 8x25 as a possibility but already having the Hawke Frontier PC with similar spec I never bothered but the other day the eyecup broke off the...
