    Docter Nobilem 8x56 B. The King of Twilight.

    I had all four of my porros the Nikon SE 8x32, Linet Imperial 7x35, Swift Audubon 804 8.5x44 and the Doctor Nobilem 8x56 B. out tonite at dusk. The Nikon, Linet and Swift performed about the same with the Swift being a little brighter, probably because of its bigger aperture, but in the fading...

    Docter Nobilem 8x56 B. The King of Twilight.

    Dries. What do you think of these? It looks like the IPD cover seal is missing in the last photo, isn't it? I asked him, and he said they were mint, but I am skeptical...

    That is what I thought. Thanks!

    Docter Nobilem 8x56 B. The King of Twilight.

    I am thinking a big 7x50 Nobilem or any big 7x50 central focusing porro would be nice also. I have those on my hit list also. How does a Nikon 7x35 compare to the Nikon E2 8x30? Are the edges about the same? I was using the Doctor's this morning and what is unusual about them is the...

    When it comes to prisms, If you are not concerned about weight or size, bigger is always better, right?

    Wow! Your Nobilem looks like new! How is the Nikon compared to the Nobilem?

    Ibuprofen are similar. What do you suggest as a safer alternative? Your eyes don't need to dilate to 7 mm to get benefit from the 7 mm EP. They help with easier eye placement, glare and since you are just using the sweet spot of the objective and not the edges you get less aberrations.

    Docter Nobilem 8x56 B. The King of Twilight.

    Thanks, I am going to look at some of those. They seem to command a pretty good price, even for the well used ones. I know I am not the smartest person in the room. My wife is! At least that is what she says.:confused: These Zeiss 7x50 Jena on Cloudy Night's looked pretty good, but they sold...

    Docter Nobilem 8x56 B. The King of Twilight.

    The view, the view. I realized when I compared these two superb porros the Nikon SE 8x32 and Doctor Nobilem 8x56 B that aperture makes a huge difference in a binoculars performance even in the daytime. My shoulder is better, I am on some medication that helps a lot. It is called Meloxicam.

    Docter Nobilem 8x56 B. The King of Twilight.

    Thanks, Dries. I agree with you more than anybody on Bird Forum, and I think it is because you and I know more than anybody on here about binoculars. :( I realize now I really like the big aperture porros. I am going to look for a pair of those Jena 8x50's. I don't care about the weight, the...

    The Fujinon FMTR-SX 10x50 or 7x50 case works perfect for the Doctor Nobilem 8x56 B. You can buy them direct from Fujinon. Scroll down on the parts list. https://www.fujifilm.com/us/en/consumer/binoculars/polaris/accessories

    Docter Nobilem 8x56 B. The King of Twilight.

    I received the Doctor Nobilem 8x56 B binoculars, and they were in great shape and I must say I am very impressed with them. Being an 8x56 and having high transmission, they are very bright, but the surprising thing is how good the contrast is. I have been comparing them to my Nikon SE 8x32 and...

    Docter Nobilem 8x56 B. The King of Twilight.

    I had the APM 10x50, and they are optically very close to the Fuji. The build quality isn't quite equal to the Fuji, but they are good enough. How are the Doctor's for glare? I would guess very good with a 7 mm EP.

    Docter Nobilem 8x56 B. The King of Twilight.

    Where did you find one? The 8x56's usually have a narrower FOV, but they are really bright. I use a Fujinon FMTR-SX 10x50 case. That is the only one I had that was big enough.

    Why do you prefer the 8x50? Weight and size?

    Docter Nobilem 8x56 B. The King of Twilight.

    I picked up a pair of Docter Nobilem 8x56 B porros on Astromart for $450. I have been looking for a pair of these big porros because they are one of the few 8x56 porro prism binoculars with a central focuser. I am thrilled to finally find one in good condition because they are very rare. Here...
