Do you own a CL Curio 7x21? Must have accessories (4 Viewers)

[SanderBird82]

The Nikon 5x15HG and 7x15HG are definitely superior to the Zeiss except in one respect, close-focus distance (I have all three), even if you just factor the ergonomics of a twist vs push-pull focuser.

That sounds good. There also cheaper here in Holland.

They're all useful, but the Curio is a far more comfortable and usable experience. That said, the best sports optics are the ones you have on you, you can wear either Nikon around your neck and not even notice they're there.

Thats why i am considering them. So small and still useful.

The Curio is very nice. I tried them for a week. But i like my VP 8x25 more and dont need to have them both (for the money).

The 5x15 HG is not much available now here in Holland. 1 shop online.
Even Nikon site there are out of stock.
I hope there will be available again soon.

You use the 5x15 also for nature/birdwatching?

Yes, but only as a fallback if I’m not carrying anything better. I have Zeiss HT 8x42 in the car trunk, Opticron DBA 8x42 monocular in the driver’s side door compartment and usually EDC the Curio if I’m not packing something better in my backpack like the VP 8x25 or NL Pure 8x32.

There are cheaper yet still decent monoculars, but nothing quite as compact as the Nikon HG.

I also have the Leica Trinovid 8x20 and the Ultravid 8x20, but the 3mm exit pupil of the 7x21 makes a huge difference in usability compared to 2.5mm.
