The Maven models, particularly the B2, appear to be shaking things up in thir price ranges. Sounds a very impressive binocular, but can't help noticing the weight. I'd agree the Razor HD 10x50 is very good too and would be my pick of the others at around that price, and it has the virtue of been much lighter. I'd be interested in how you think it might compare on view though.The Kite Lynx appears ot be a close relative of the B3 and they had an AK prismed model listed on their site briefly, but I understand that's been shelved for the moment. I'm not sure how close their new Bonelli 2.0 is to the B1 but it's very good indeed. I believe other companies are taking a close look at the platforms too., but the question of weight has cropped up. 33 ounces, 940g, is a lot in my book.David</blockquote>
