    Pocket binoculars

    My choice of pocket binoculars is Ultravid 8x20. The comfort of the eyepieces is the same as any pocket binoculars with a 2.5mm exit pupil, not great, but over time I got used to it (even 8x25 format requires getting used over time). On the other hand, ergonomically, I can say that the comfort...

    Needed - easy way to check collimation

    Hi, this operation is only useful if each separately scope/tube is individually collimated by it self (The right objective must be perfectly in the optical axis with the right eyepiece, and the left objective must be perfectly aligned with the left eyepiece). But, many times, in order to have a...

    Author Amy Tan With Zeiss Victory 25mm's...

    The lady/bird 😀 seems to be able to hold a 10x, but I also think that her small binoculars are an 8x, especially since she only holds it with one hand while drawing with the other hand. Also, at minute 3:27, you can see a bigger pair of binoculars which I bet is a 10x or 12x to spot birds of...

    Zeiss SF 10x42 dissection

    Some binoculars come and go, but the ones that stay with us for years, those are our precious choices. The Time Test is the best form of choice, but it takes time :) We are all looking for the perfect binoculars for us, but there comes a time when the choice comes naturally after long...

    My only four hand-held binoculars

    Having only 2 pairs of binoculars I will chose: First one I clearly opt for the SF Victory 10x42. It is the most comfortable binoculars I have tested. It has a body with "consistency" when held in hands. It sticks to eyes by itself, thanks to the superb ergonomics, and I feel it is a 10x only in...

    Biased test regarding exit pupil?

    Welcome to the forum! When it comes to image sharpness, you may have an astigmatism in your eyes (or eye) and you don't wear corrective glasses. In this case instruments with a smaller exit pupil will be advantageous in resolution and clarity over the bigger one, because with these small...
