    Today's thoughts Leica ultravid 10x25

    Well today I managed to get to go to a local nature reserve with my new leicas. What struck me first about them was how bright they were even against my good lady's 8x43 Hawkes. They held there own! The field of view was sharp to the edge and the whole image was razor sharp and detailed...

    Which is the best Hawks Ed model

    Out of all the Hawks Ed binoculars, which if any seems to be the most consistent in giving the best optical view through them? I was looking at a compact pair of leicas but reading on some of these hawkes, say like the 8x43 Ed they seem to be compatible in image quality and enjoyable...

    Which new 8x20s would you pic and why?

    Hello all. I fancy a premium pair of 8x20 compact bins. What would you got for out of the top 3? And why? Really interested in the pros and cons of each. But my main quality is the experience when looking through them.. Thanks

    Trinny service today.

    I'm very fortunate that because I work for a company who repairs photographic and optical equipment I managed to get my trinny 10x25 serviced a bit today. I had done.. Hinges tightened, they were not bad but now there as you would expect on a new pair. Retractable eye cups were a bit stiff...

    Just got some trinovid 10x25 bca

    Bought these used but a very nice clean looked after binocular, I'm blown away by them for a 25mm OG. There certainly if not brighter than some of the medium range 8x42s I've owned, and more sort of transparent and clean sharpness to them. If these cheaper ones are this noticeable I'm sure the...
