[QUOTE="brocknroller, post: 3226269, member: 665"] Jerry, Doesn't surprise me that nobody here knows about them, most birders don't use large aperture bins like amateur astronomers. It seems that everybody is slapping their name on General Hi-T larger aperture binoculars, from Oberwerk to Orion Optics and even Astrophysics, which sells high-end APO telescopes. AFAIK, Lunt Engineering or APM doesn't "engineer" these, they just slap their label on them like Obie, Oriion and Astrophysics (and others) do. Here's Obies "Ultra" series: [URL="http://www.bigbinoculars.com/ultra70.htm"]ObieUltras[/URL] Here's General Hi-T's original version [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7eFW6bsH_Y"]Hi-T in Italiano[/URL] I think the IF EPs might be a turnoff for some birders. Also, at those high magnifications, ED glass would be helpful for terrestrial use. Or at least it would for me since I'm sensitive to CA. Where you can find reviews/info on "Big Eyes" for terrestrial use are hunting bin forums. Here's one from Optics Talk.
