Which binocular(s) did you use today? (4 Viewers)

[Elkhornsun]

Swarovski 10x32 EL Gen 2 which are very light at 21.5 ounces and about two-thirds the size of my 8x42 and 12x42 binos. I keep them handy for checking out the birds on the property.

Mic?

Certainly. It looks rather similar to the Minox X-Lite. Tried it in a shop once, not bad for the money (as far as the optics are concerned) but it felt cheap, especially the eyecups - not sure it's really the same bino though.

Minox Fernglas X-lite 8x26 | Intercon Spacetec - Alles für die Astronomie

Die X-lite sind solide Allrounder mit guter Optik und Mechanik. In keinem Gebiet erreichen sie Spitzenwerte, das geht in diesem Preisbereich nicht....

Last week i obtained a Binox 6x16, here i put it next to my UV 8x20 for size comparison.
It‘s a funny small bino but the quality compared to the Leica…maybe nice as a gift or to put it in a small EDC bag.

It IS cool but the view is a bit dim 😬

Today for quick walk at a local reserve my wife and I took our Swarvoski 10x25 CL binos. So small and light that we do not hesitate to take them anywhere.

Today was a beautiful day with a trio of some of the sweetest 8x32’s available. Threw in a 7x35 just for shts and giggles. Forgot to grab one of the 60-70 year old Vintage SWA, that always come along just to embarrass the new alphas.

Leica 8x32 UVHD+ , delicious.
Swaro 8x32 EL SV, soo sharp.
Zeiss 8x32 SF , Contrast.

Lovley sunny day today to go out with my NL pure

 

[Maljunulo]

Every time I see something like that (NL 8X32), the voices in my head start up.

I know, and in orange. Even though I have the EL (NL light) still got that itch.

 

[Maljunulo]

Yes, and I have the SF.

 

[Paultricounty]

Yes, and I have the SF.

I have the SF as well and both are really incredible glass. Was using them yesterday. We really won’t be picking up much. Take away the large FOV and the focuser and you have an EL, the SF already has both 🤔.

That’s what I keep telling the voices.

Swarovski 8.5x42 EL SV, Vortex 8x42 UHD, Leica 7x42 UVHD (still checking all the boxes 😝) and always take along a vintage 7x35 super wide, Bushnell Rangemaster Silverline.

None. Watching idiotic tourists bombing around on their jetskis is excruciatingly boring. The dolphins currently do not hang out for obvious reasons and apart from gulls and some swallows most birds seem to have scarpered for less noisy, cooler climes.

Oh man , was this what did you see today , I’ve been posting what did you use today. My bad 🤪

Maybe you can direct your optical gear towards objects inside your house or take a flashlight and explore the deep space of your binoculars. I know what you mean and feel your pain. Don’t give up, keep your mojo working 😆
