Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Kingfisher" data-source="post: 1660710" data-attributes="member: 23213">Thanks Kristoffer!Before I ordered the Kowa binoculars I visited "Naturbokhandeln" on Öland. At the first visit I tested "all" binoculars in the shop. But at the second visit, I only tested the Kowa against Zeiss Victory 8x42. No doubt about it..the Kowa was the one I preferred!Natural colors, no visible CA, good contrast, sharp, a very smooth and wonderful focus wheel, good eye-relief etc are some of those things that makes the Kowa so good. It also felt better in my hands at the second test than I could remember from the first test I did. Very positive!Not only that the binoculars are good, I got a hefty discount, too. Not by "Naturbokhandeln" should be said, but by another company. I got it for 9500 SEK (normal price in Sweden is about 12000 SEK). A discount of 21% approximately! |<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />|</blockquote>
