    Product Review: The Sky Rover Banner Cloud 8 x 42 Binocular

    The Bushnell Legend M created much excitement here years back too. I wonder how much of these will sell world wide, likely the most in china and some here in the US and Europe. I just do not see these at current $$$ being a great seller, and additionally they have a ways to go to make a...

    Best 8x Bino’s for the money

    Yes you are correct, the ball is in their court. Based on my experience with the exception of companies such as Nikon, Kowa, and Zeiss, the level of work required to accomplish consistent production of a prc binocular from an independent manufacturer is lacking IMHO.
