    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    I didn't see. But I assumed they ate them.

    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    This is one of my favorite threads. Thank you all so much for the lovely photos. Today I had the pleasure of watching Bald Eagles diving and grabbing clawfulls of small fish - maybe herring or baby salmon. They would come up with a few in each claw. It was pretty neat, and something that I had...

    Pocket binoculars

    Agreed. The Ultravid 10s also have really nice ergonomics for a pair of pockets.
  4. Q

    My first pair, help please.

    No need to be apologetic about being "that guy." This is the best collection of binocular nerds on the internet, so people will be happy to discuss. I owned the M7 8x42s and loved them. They were my first and only pair of binoculars for five years. I used them everyday. Great binoculars at a...

    Which binocular(s) did you use today?

    Those are so cool. I don't know where or how, but I've used a pair of those before. Neat little things.

    Victory 7x42 fl* Thoughts and price?

    There is some complex distortion in the FL7s. It always takes me a minute to get used to it if I've been using my UV7s recently beforehand. First viewing through my FL7s I found it bothersome as well and didn't really like the view, but I've warmed up to it now and really like them. I don't...

    Victory 7x42 fl* Thoughts and price?

    FL7s are an excellent pair of binoculars. To me they have a quintessentially Zeiss view - incredibly bright, sharp, and wide. If you can find a good pair at a decent price, then I highly recommend them. It's a real shame that Zeiss quit making 7s. The eye relief is sufficient for me to use them...

    Britain's most prolific egg collector, reoffends again.

    Oh no! Before just now I had no idea about this reprehensible hobby. Now I know about it and it breaks my heart. Humans are a scourge.

    Swarovski eye candy...

    Hey! I know that boat harbor. We're practically neighbors.
  10. Q

    Having 2 pairs of binoculars. Which would you choose?

    Yes! The SLC 15s are one of the best pairs of binoculars on the market. Not real popular amongst birders, but I think they should be. I can hold mine plenty steady enough to use them. And the 8x50 Trinovids are the most beautiful view of any binocular I have ever used. I bought them cheap from...

    I see the future

    Haha. Yes, I had an awesome two-disc CD collection of Birds of Alaska that I used to listen to all the time. Particularly on road trips.
  12. Q

    I see the future

    Well done. I'm fascinated that you even remembered this post after all these years. Now, I suppose the question is whether or not this type of thing becomes common. I imagine that as they become cheaper and the software more reliable, there will be a large contingent of birders using this...
  13. Q

    Having 2 pairs of binoculars. Which would you choose?

    Two is tough. I'd definitely choose a pair of 7s. Either my UVs or FLs. Probably my UVs. From my existing collection, I'd take my Trinovid 8x50s or my SLC 15s. I kinda feel like I should compliment my 7s with a pair of 10s, but I don't have a pair of 10s that I'm really crazy about. Come to...
  14. Q

    Having 2 pairs of binoculars. Which would you choose?

    Oh wow. All Swarovski. Some good choices in there. Those SLC 42s are something special. I think I like the SLCs better than the NLs or ELs.
  15. Q

    Leica eye candy....

    Congrats. Those are an awesome compliment to your already very nice Leica collection. Haha. Yes, that's Fiona. She is the best dog that I have ever known. I'm very lucky to have her as my companion.
