[QUOTE="richt, post: 1248569, member: 14481"] Hi Brock Good point on the E2 useable field my own sample measures up round about the same so actually excellent Cant quite see the image details at this end on the "devil roofs" but i assume these are figures of little "satans" with roofs ? Frank Spot on with the porro comment Imagine the advert "Now see even more for less" Somehow i think fashion and user demand may be heavy factors in what our optics "coorporates" put into production Still with new Swaro's about to be a small fortune the whole ethos of how a consumer spends their potential cash on equipment may change If the new Swaro's run at even say 30% off once actually established at retail point then $2300-2400 may be the result many folk looking at this will i think realise a good mid price pair of 8x and 10 x plus perhaps a compact or scope can be had for the money Some very good emergent Chinese options are starting to saturate the market so the gauge sways more Of course there will be rightly always be the folk in a free market environment who can outlay on the top of the pile for whatever social/circumstantial reasons The optics market is definitely changeing imho though as forums increasingly discuss bins such as Vortex Viper and other advanced Chinese manufactured models Back on thread i think the SE's and Swift Audubons of the world will inevitably become auction site pursued and possibly command strange prices as time goes by and especially if production ceases As for me i just squandered all of £8.69 or $17.50 which included P and P on a madcap bid to try out an old Bell and Howell 8 x 40 porro with an outrageous 510 feet wide field of view It looked and sounded ok so will wait and see i did ask the seller to smother them when packing so hopefully no major bumps Figure under £10 is not going to wreak havoc on my finances and i f i do see double then twice the value depending on whats being looked at !!
