Meopta 7x42 mini review
After very good experiences with Meopta Meostar binos I did happen to find a second hand Meostar 7x42 for 699 Euro, shipped from Germany. After reading Lee/Troubadours praise of the 7x42 I wanted to try one for myself. They don't surface very often and even though I really don't need another... -

Yawn, just another SFL 40 comparison...
Easter has been slow and enjoyable. Got to do a few hours glassing in the bleak and pale spring light. Not much colour sparkle and the fields are more reminiscent of gloomy battlefields, a battle that winter seems to lose, thankfully and eventually. I did haul out the Swaro BTX today but the... -

SFL 8x30 - just arrived, some first impressions.
Since the SFL 8x30 has started shipping I thought it would be nice to get a new thread started on it. I got my bino yesterday and I will try to keep it rolling with impressions over the next few days. Unfortunately it is raining at the moment and I have to get some work done but I will bring... -

DIY eyecup for Meopta Meostar 12x50 HD
A few months back I sold off my Meopta 12x50 HD to help finance a Swarovski BTX set up. I was thinking I would no longer use the 12X much after getting the BTX. However, I soon realised the 12X is the perfect mid range magnification inbetween the 8X and the BTX at 30X I have. Contacted the... -

BTX / ATX on 65mm
Hi Gang, I happened upon a second hand 65mm ATX in very good condition. I was primarily set on the ATX 25-60 zoom but I am much more comfortable using both eyes for extended viewing so I left the shop with a BTX module giving me a fixed 30X magnification. I know the 65mm isn't the "best"... -

Meopta B1.1 8x32 vs Zeiss 8x32 FL vs Leica Ultravid 8x32 HD+
A quick comparison between three pocket rockets, the Meopta B1.1 8x32, the long in service benchmark Zeiss 8x32 FL and the most recent Leica Ultravid HD+. The Meopta has a newer version out, the B1 Plus with different armour and according to Meopta improved optical and mechanical tolerances... -

Meopta Meostar B1 Plus 12x50HD
Meopta B1 Plus series continue to impress. I have found that despite having the option/funds for any brand available on the market - and trying most of them out - I have been circling back to Meopta for primarily; the performance, and secondary: superb value for money. Despite having the... -

Meopta Meostar B1 Plus 8x32 mishaps
Hey gang! My thread spamming continues in the Meopta part of the forum, but it will slow down and I will run out of steam, I promise. This is however a thread which is not exactly a very nice representation of the Meopta brand - but I feel it warrants a thread and a caution to potential... -

10x42 MeoPro Air HDED vs 10x42HD Meostar B1 Plus - it's on!
Hello Gang, optical enthusiast and bonafide Meopta-hoarder Henrik here. Since there has been much talk and speculation about the new MeoPro Air which recently started shipping I thought it would be appreciated with a direct side by side comparison with the current Meostar B1 Plus. The best... -

Meopta Meostar B1 Plus 10x42
Hello gang! I never thought I would end up a Meopta hoarder - but that seems to be the case! For those of you that have followed the Meopta threads lately I have had some mishaps and bad luck with them Meoptas and I could not find a Meopta B1 Plus 8x32 that A) was in stock and B) was not... -

MEOPTA MEOSTAR 15x56 HD B1 Plus vs SWAROVSKI SLC 15x56 HD
Hello all! Starting a new thread instead of cluttering up the previous "Gear Anxiety Thread". I have the Meopta Meostar 15x56 HD B1 Plus, which is the latest iteration of the Meostar 15x56. It features a new rubber armor and enhanced optical tolerances promising better optical performance than... -

General Gear Anxiety with particular Swarovski NL 12x42 thoughts
I use binos more than I have before (which of course says nothing about my usage really, just pretend it makes sense) and live where there is enough wildlife to warrant a pair or two "for life". I have three binoculars at the moment and I find I am juggling them around too much and would like... -

Old Newbie from Sweden
Hi all! Just registered, former photographer turned carpenter with an interest in optics in general and binoculars in particular. Recently the BirdForum helped me in deciding on a pair of Meopta 15x56's and I hope to be able to contribute with... ...at least something in the future in terms of...
