    Om1 mk2 100-400mm Holster bag

    I have the holster bag you mention, but not your camera. I bought it for use with a Canon R6 with RF 100-500mm, in order to wear it at my side for quick access. I find it is quite chunky when used like that, especially in extended mode. And it does look rather like a camera bag. To be more...

    Best low- to mid-priced monocular

    I know. But it is a gift for your wife. And you are looking for something that gives a rewarding look, while being small and portable. And you appreciate good glass. The curios are a better fit than any monocular for that scenario. Suggest burnt orange.:)

    Am I being unreasonable to my new scope?

    It is almost certainly just the effect of the fog, which is more noticeable with the higher magnification of the scope compared to the lower magnification of your 8x42. You will find similar if you are observing in circumstances when there is heat shimmer. So don't panic and...

    Replacement for M7 8x30

    You can get Nikon bins on offer in Germany at present. The HG 8x30 is Euro 599 incl German VAT. The seller below charge 15.99 for shipping to Finland. They will charge you the country specific VAT, so that may change the final price a bit. I have not bought bins from them but an expensive foto...

    East Coast Binocular Repairs

    That might be your way of dealing with an unpleasant customer. I would expect Keith's binoculars to arrive safely with all repairs carried out professionally. I have never done business with East Coast Binoculars, but I have been on the binocular forum long enough to see plenty of...

    East Coast Binocular Repairs

    @ Keith424 Looks like you have been given a perfectly reasonable explanation of what occurred. An appropriate response on your part could have been something like: "Thank you for giving an update. I am sorry about taking this to a public forum, I was getting a bit anxious when I could not...

    berlebach 553

    Pegasus would be overkill for 15*56 binoculars. 553 or 510 both have advantages and disadvantages, and you will have to decide yourself which set of features suits your needs better. 553 is more expensive, a bit heavier and has 2 separate levers / mechanisms for clamping the tilt movement...

    Which binoculars are less stressfull for the eyes?

    Jerry I beg to differ. I appreciate Binastro's contributions, including the Ferrari one. Whereas your venom is not needed or appreciated.

    Gizmo to hold binoculars without hands? ( while dealing with rotator cuff injury restrictions)

    A Finnstick might suit your situation just fine. You should be able to hold on to it without having to elevate your arm(s) (hopefully your problem is only one-sided) at the shoulder joint. For example see here https://www.birdforum.net/threads/10x42-is-l-with-a-finnstick.427128/ The search...
