    ZEISS TERRA ED 8x25 pocket

    Getting any clear skies at night is especially difficult this time of year but it will happen eventually. Usually the wind/rain starts to let up in December and we sometimes get clear, sunny days and very clear nights. We have some sun today! Wow, I almost forgot what the sun looked like...

    ZEISS TERRA ED 8x25 pocket

    The Zeiss box says "Made in Japan" -- I thought I was clear about this... but why are you making more of what someone says that doesn't even own one and got his info from a 3rd party source? They probably heard "Terra ED" and just assumed it was China. I seriously doubt Eagle Optics sent me...

    ZEISS TERRA ED 8x25 pocket

    Sure but that may be awhile. Brightness was on par with the Terra Ed. Definitely were not 100% edge to edge sharp but the transitions were very gradual. Just very slightly out of focus bits... I'd guess at 75% or thereabouts. Color was quite good. I would say very neutral but also vibrant...

    I don't understand.... why wouldn't it? Did you not see the MiJ logo?

    ZEISS TERRA ED 8x25 pocket

    So I had some time to compare both models. Overall impressions: Optics: 8x25 Pocket. Higher resolution. Definitely noticeable and especially when reading text or when looking at a detailed object far away. (A house, etc.) Physical: Draw. Pocket is half the weight of the 8x32 but the...

    Extending an old thread. Binocular comparison.

    This is really weird to me. Why would you not extend them fully?

    ZEISS TERRA ED 8x25 pocket

    Yeah it's almost the same way here Clive. It's not so much the darkness as it is the rain. It's so rainy (think typical UK winter) that there's just not much to see.

    Quick update which may surprise a few of you... the Zeiss Pocket models appear to be "Made in Japan."

    ZEISS TERRA ED 8x25 pocket

    Received the Zeiss 8x25 binoculars today. Very nice packaging and cute case. Very similar to the other Terra ED binoculars but much better design. Optics are very sharp! Very impressed with their resolution. Setting the diopter is kind of a pain but otherwise the bin is quite good. Very...

    ZEISS TERRA ED 8x25 pocket

    I'm taking a chance on the 8x25 and will let you guys know how they compare to the 8x32 Terra ED. I should receive mine on Friday.

    nikon monarch 5 16x56 vs swarovski 15x56 HD

    Well, I think you misread that article somewhat. It says the resolution of the Swarovski is clearly superior that of the other binoculars. It then claims that the low-light test from the Nikon was equal to that of the Swarovski. This doesn't really make sense as I would expect the...

    nikon monarch 5 16x56 vs swarovski 15x56 HD

    Honestly I've never picked up the Swaros but I can safely say they would have *much* better image quality. The Nikon's are OK if on a budget. The Swaros would be a better investment; however, I would also consider the Zeiss 15x56 Conquest HD which is a very good price right now. Here's the...

    New review - Allbinos 8x56 Conq.HD.

    These have really long ER @ 18mm. Do these require the replacement eyecups for non-eyeglass users?
