    Canada Geese flying at night in a snowstorm

    Hello all, I am usually over on the optics forums of Birdforum, but I experienced weird bird behavior and figured I would ask here. I spent the day at a ski resort here in Pennsylvania and I heard a huge flock of geese flying above, with fleeting views of the V formation due to the falling snow...

    Brands with similar color cast as Leica and Nikon

    Hello everyone, Just wondering which brands have a similar color cast (transmission curve?) as Leica and Nikon. The reasoning behind this inquiry is that I may be in the market for a 12x50 and my options for a roof in this size are either Nikon Prostaffs or Leica Ultravids. Maybe there is...

    Gearlab’s recommended binoculars

    Hey everybody, I recently came across this website of binocular recommendations. It seems like they were quite thorough. I especially like how they put some fake birds in a tree to compare the views. Anyways, I have no connection to the publisher, I just thought that it is a fun little read...

    Should I purchase third party warranty for Nikon eii's?

    Long time lurker here of the binoculars sub-forum. Just want to say that I took a chance and ordered a set of 10x35 eii's from the eBay because of what I've read here and at Holger's homepage. My father and I are going on an epic, once in a lifetime, road trip across the American west this...

    Hello from Pittsburgh, PA

    Hello birdforum.net! I'm a long time lurker over on the binocular sub and finally decided to join the other day. Lots of great information from some really smart, competent people on this site. Besides my interest in optics, I'm a casual birdwatcher as well. Sincerely, Jim
