    7x42 Ultravid

    Well I don’t know about the specifics of binocular focus mechanisms, but a titanium rifle action will generally use stainless steel for the bolt locking lugs to prevent galling; and the ultra smooth gears in my custom Japanese spinning reels use C6191 marine bronze for the gears when other...

    Noctivids / Geovids

    I think it depends which model you are comparing. I was underwhelmed by the 10x42 HD-B, but I tried the 8x56 HD-B alongside my 10x50 SV for over a week in all kinds of different terrain and light before finally deciding to make the switch and I haven't once regretted the decision.

    Leica Geovid HDB 3000 10x42 - Great Electronics Sketchy Optics

    I was very impressed by the image quality of the 8x42 EL Range. Had it offered some form of ballistics compensation calculator, I’m sure I would have bought it. I disagree about the focus adjustment though... however, without the ballistics correction display, unless you memorise your...

    Anyone feels going back from Noctivid to the Ultravid HD...?

    Tough choice, 7x42 HD+ or 8x42 Noctivid...

    Your pick, best bino harness you came to?

    Its not strictly speaking a harness, but I use the Swazi bino beret - works well and does ease some pressure off the neck while offering some welcome protection.

    Trinovid 7x35

    Haha! No, I haven’t. I have had them in heavy rain, but in the past 20 years neither of the two Swarovskis ELs or the Leica Geovid that I have owned have been affected by heavy rain. Before that my grandfather’s old porros for instance just used to sit inside my jacket if it rained. My half...

    Trinovid 7x35

    I’d take a Geovid if hunting. I’d definitely choose something waterproof on a boat. I might well choose something larger like a 42/50mm as a specialist bird/wildlife binocular. But the trinovid 7x35 sounds ideal for a lot of general recreational uses...
