    Advice on a good 12x50+ that won't break the bank

    Hi again! Interesting review and comparison, thanks! I have used my Meostar B1 10x42hd for two months now and I'm definitely pleased with its optical performance. Best wishes/ FJ

    Leaving Swarovski for Meopta ?

    I have noticed that too. Especially among birders the brand Meopta is quite unknown. Take a look at their catalogs and you’ll see that in every flashy picture it is a hunter or a sportsshooter that holds their optics. Meopta doesn’t do much of advertising among birdwatchers. Too bad. Used optics...

    Leaving Swarovski for Meopta ?

    Interesting to see that several watchers and bino-lovers share my experience. I’m looking forward to seing the Meostar B2 when it (hopefully) comes to market. Regardless coatings and prisms, I am quite convinced that it will be built like a tank too. Better save some money as buying the B2 will...

    Leaving Swarovski for Meopta ?

    I agree , that is also what I have experienced. Though I have only been able to compare to Kowas and Zeiss Victory Diascope 85 FL.

    Leaving Swarovski for Meopta ?

    Being birdwatcher, fisher and hunter, a good binocular is always around my neck. Among birdwatchers Meopta is quite unknown at least in Scandinavia but when it comes to hunting-optics it is different, their riflescopes are highly appreciated. Anyway, for me it is important with good optics and I...

    Comparing the British list to other countries

    Where ever we are the grass is a bit greener in the neighbours garden.... I live in southeast of Sweden and sometimes long for birding at the atlantic coasts where it is possible to meet birds which ”never” occurs in the baltic sea. Would also enjoy the birds from south and southeast in...

    Targets for 2020

    I’m going to the mountains in northwest Sweden, close to Norway in June. I hope to see Strix uralensis (in lowland forests), the mighty Nyctea scandiaca, Gallinago media, the Parus cinctus and the Charadrius morinellus. Those would make my stay , going to be there for a week. ( Hope to avoid...

    Western capercaillie in Germany

    I live in the east of Sweden and I find it a little surprising that the capercillie would be so sensitive during winter. I will check if this conclusion is relevant in Scandinavia. Being both a birder and a hunter I spend a lot of time in the pineforests where I live. I often find those birds...

    Leica Apo televid 82 vs. Meopta S2 82 HD

    Hi Juhani Last month i bought a Meopta Meostar s2 with the 20-70x Eyepiece, this spotting scope replaced a Leica Televid. I knew from the riflescope Meopta Meostar r2 ( yes, I hunt a little) that their optics are high class. That`s the reason for my choice of spotting scope. I thought that the...
