Thanks so much Lee.
Any news about the new Meostar?
Thanks everyone for the updates, too bad about the mud.

Thanks David :t:CJ.
The ER is listed as 17mm and with my new close fitting specs, I needed to twist out the eyecups a little. Perhaps 1.5mm? That would probably make something like 15- 15.5mm available? The field curvature was fairly shallow with relatively little softening at the edges in the 6.5x. The weight is listed as 535g.

Thanks Lee and David for the feedback on the new Kowa BD II (and CJ for asking the questions).
A new 6.5x32 has brought me out of hibernation. These are uncommon. This is the first I'm hearing about it.
The huge FOV is intriguing ... will wait for the reviews/impressions in the Fall.
The IS technology of the new Opticron x30s seems much better than the previous monocular, though the 12x30 took a second or two to hit it's stride, which was a bit disconcerting. These preproduction samples appeared to be sharper than the Viking equivalent that's been on the market for a while.

Were any prices mentioned for these please David?
Hi Beth :hi:
I was thinking you'd be curious about these ! :cat:
175m Fov (525ft @1,000yds) is a pretty impressive feat ! There might very well be enough ER to make them useful and nice to use too :t:
David - no worries :t: let's see what the sorted production models bring in terms of IQ etc :cat:
Chosun :gh:

A Kowa BDII 6.5x32 XD with a 10 degree FOV! WOW! I'm all in! Were talking a Mini-Nikon WX 7x50 here for way less money! That is a 65 degree AFOV! SWEET! Put me down for one. Beth, I will write a review.
Don't hibernate YET! It is not winter yet.Bcool beans :t:

I am the same way. I prefer it cool. Fortunately Colorado is dry. The average temperature seems to be hotter though so I think there is something to this climate warming. I can't stand it back east with the humidity. We used to go to Joliet, Illinois every summer when we were kids to see our grandparents and I hated it. I felt like taking a shower every hour.I like to hibernate in Summer when it's super hot out.
Honestly, I can't wait for summer to end. It's been very hot and humid here in NJ this summer. Today was another boiler. The humidity made it feel worse. Did a few errands before work and clothes were sticking to me in no time...went to work feeling gross.
I'll come out in Fall :cat:
