    Reverse Porro - Nikon/Vortex/Carson comparisons

    Thanks chill6x6 - that's interesting feedback on the Pentax/Fujinon comparison. Even if the KF's are coming out of a Chinese factory, I would be surprised if Fujinon were not retaining careful 6-sigma manufacturing control. Their products do have a life-time warranty... But then again - so do...

    Reverse Porro - Nikon/Vortex/Carson comparisons

    Hello jmeister, Fujinon KF 8x25 reverse porro is an interesting new one for me. Like you, can't find too much info on it. Specs look quite good though. On Amazon.com there is the following review comment: "Great value. Performance is better than my Nikon Travelites. Plus they are weather...

    Reverse Porro - Nikon/Vortex/Carson comparisons

    Hi - due to the current pandemic I've found myself doing a lot of hiking this year! The 8x42's are proving a little cumbersome. I'm looking to purchase some dedicated hiking binoculars and hoping to get high quality viewing from a lightweight pair of bins. I'm thinking that investing in some...
