Meostar B1.1 plus
We sold our 8x32 B1.1 because our aging eyes needed that little xtra power for a tad more detail. We purchased the 10x version when Meopta had that clearance sale direct from their website. We were hesitant at first for two reasons : would that xtra power add too much shaking to our views and we... -

At first when I handled the B1 Plus I was not sure if it was a binocular I would use all day because of its chunkier/ square feel but soon got used to them. Not having those two finger indentations like my B1.1 also made me make some adjustments to how to hold them. I think those who purchase... -

Thinking back now, one thing that I really like on my B1.1 version which the Plus version do not have, are those two finger indentations on the back side of the binocular. Also due to the redesign of the Rubber Armor on the Plus version makes them feel chunkier and larger in hand then they... -

We actually liked the handling of the New armor on the Plus model but we also like the way the B1.1 feels in hand. As I said the Plus version looked more pleasing to our eyes and at one time it came in different colors but I do not know if the different color versions are still available from... -

We handled both models of the 8x32, the B1.1 and the B1 Plus model and compared both for 1 day. To our eyes we saw no noticeable improvement optically of the Plus model over the B1.1. The eye cup design/eye relief on both versions worked great for us, we could see no physical change between... -

Indeed ... Meopta might think they have gotten away with the Wool aspect of advertising within the ordinary human population but they did not take into account us crazy optical wizards here at BirdForum. -

If like you said the B1 plus being a filler, those who are willing to wait maybe sometime later this year we will see some really low discounted prices on the B1 Plus with more older in stock of the B1 and B1.1 having even lower prices. I must admit if I see the B1 Plus in the 8x32 being... -

One thing I would mention is the Meopta Meostar B1 Plus is cosmetically a really nice looking binocular. I just thought the sleeker looking B1.1 had a better feel, where the Plus just felt chunky and seemed larger than it actually is. The off green color now offered on the Plus I preferred much... -

I I came across a gentleman on one of our short walking trails here in our gated community this past Xmas eve midday who had a Meopta 8x32 B1 Plus hanging around his neck. I told him I just ordered a pair a few hrs earlier and he was nice enough to let me handle his for a few minutes. It only... -

I like the Brown. I wonder if the colors other than the standard off green will add additional cost. I just upgraded to the Plus 8x32 Meostar with regular off green now I am thinking I am going to have to get that cool looking Brown also. -

I have the Meopta B1.1 8x32. I previously owned Cabelas version HD 8x32. I like the view of the the B1.1 better. I also think the diopter upgrade along with its coatings tweak is also a plus with having the Meopta Brand over Cabelas rebranding. Now with Meopta’s price increases with their New...
