    Is 7x really making a come back?

    There were quite a few discussions around 7x binoculars on the forum lately: 7x36 ED2, 7x36 Swift, 7x42 Meopta. Some folks also talked about 6x. I have to admit that I use 7x36 ED2 more often in the past few months. But I still grabbed my 8.5 EL or 8x ZEN ED pretty often too. Out in the field...

    Click the advertisement?

    Slightly off topic since I am bored waiting for turkey dinner. :) Do you actually click the google ads showing up on the forum? I made a point to click once or twice a day, as an alternative way to support Birdforum. ;) It does not cost me anything and I am wasting my time on the birdforum...

    when to sell my EL

    Because of recent talk about Nikon SE 8x32, I have been trying to sell my EL to free up some bino funds to acquire a pair of 8x32 SE. My concern is the timing. I don't think I will get SE until mid of next year. With pending new EL introduction, do you think the resale price of used EL will...

    Anyone used Alpen WINGS ED 8x42

    I think this model deserves a separate thread. Saw it on binoculars.com for $392 http://www.binoculars.com/binoculars/bird-watching-binoculars/alpen8x42wingsedbinoculars.cfm The light weight of 21oz is quite attractive. The only "review" I can find is worse than binoculars.com's product...

    Nikon Monarch 10x42 vs 8x42 DOF and Pin cushion distortion

    I was in store to check out Nikon Monarch 10x42 and 8x42 model. I noticed that 8x42 has much better depth of focus than 10x42. By looking at a focal plane 20 yards away, the whole FOV is almost in focus for 8x42, while the 1/3 edge of slightly out of focus for 10x42 if I focus to the center...

    Can someone explain the difference between Viper and sidewinder. Their spec looks very similar while Viper doubles the price of sidewinder. I know Vipers have some fancy names like XD for their glasses, which means nothing to me other than some fancy trademarks. Can someone explain in plain...
