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

    I enjoyed using the Conquest HD more than the Retrovid because I like the bigger AFOV. A bigger AFOV always gives the binocular more wow factor. If I could keep only one, it would be the Conquest HD. I think it is better for all around use, being waterproof and sealed, and for a full time...

    You're probably right. I haven't seen any sales near my prices around here, but maybe things are cheaper in your neck of the woods. The Swift's look nice. eBay?

    I don't know, that Meopta and that Vortex aren't exactly jumping off the shelf. Surprising too because the price is fantastic and they are great binoculars. Maybe everybody spent all their money for Christmas. Could I interest you in one? I know you are loaded since you live in NY.😁

    The Meopta Meostar B1 8x32 comes with the larger diameter Leica UV 10x42 eye cups already installed over the Meopta eye cups. All you have to do is pop them off, and you're back to the OEM Meopta eye cups, which are smaller. So you have a choice of two different size eye cups, really. I have...

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

    I have had them both, and I preferred the Conquest HD 8x32 for many of the reasons you mentioned. A big one is the much bigger AFOV than the Trinovid making it much more immersive and the sharp, contrasty image. At the $1K price point, the Zeiss Conquest HD is hard to beat, having probably the...
