    Car binoculars

    I keep a cheapo Russian Sotem/Tento 8x40 in the car.

    Help with vintage Binos

    Nice bino in any case. Keep it and use it. It won't fetch much when sold but it still is collectible IMHO. I prefer the amber coatings over the more common blueish ones as they are often more color neutral.

    Appreciate Binocular Advice for Nonprofit Outdoor & Nature Program

    Opticron Adventurer T WP porro in 8x32 might be another option to look at. It's also sold as Celestron "Ultima" sometimes. I bought mine for around 60€ but that was an Amazon discount. Pretty nice for that price.

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

    I know the specs. And I own a ton of super wide angle binos. But thanks :rolleyes:

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

    Not really. The thing is. The banner cloud is already at a pretty high price. If they added decent quality control (which obviously they didn't) it would raise the price to a level where it would directly compete with other brands like Meopta. And if the BC was made in Europe, with 30 year...

    The APM 6.5x32 ED IF, compared to the APM 6x30 – A Few Thoughts

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

    Plus 19% taxes in Germany. 582.13€ + 35.36€ shipping = 617.49€ x 0.19 (tax) = 117.32 617.49 + 117.32 = 734.81€ all together. For that price I am definitely looking at other options. Thats 200€ more than what I paid for my Made in Japan Fuji HC 8x42. For a few extra degrees of FoV? Nope.

    The APM 6.5x32 ED IF, compared to the APM 6x30 – A Few Thoughts

    I'm actually much more interested in this bino and especially the CF version than in the hyped Banner Cloud. I'm just a huge porro fan.

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

    Considering that amounts to around 730€ incl 19% tax plus shipping, I'm very much not interested.

    The APM 6.5x32 ED IF, compared to the APM 6x30 – A Few Thoughts

    Seems comparable but the oculars are even bigger.

    The APM 6.5x32 ED IF, compared to the APM 6x30 – A Few Thoughts

    Oops, I was certain you have one. I could post a pic of the Komz 7x30 next to my APM 6x30 and that might give us an impression how they compare in size.

    The APM 6.5x32 ED IF, compared to the APM 6x30 – A Few Thoughts

    Very interesting! Thanks. It always reminded me of the Komz 7x30 BPO with those huge oculars. Can you post a comparison pic, assuming you own the Komz BPO 7x30?

    Which binocular(s) did you use today?

    Using this "Chinon", 7x35, EWA, today which was actually made by Nikon as the J-E7 on the front hinge indicates.
