    And another Asahi Pentax 6x25

    I thought I make a new thread for this as not to hijack this one: https://www.birdforum.net/threads/asahi-pentax-6x25.447050/post-4569598 Just a day after the above thread was posted I received an eBay-notification as I have a reminder set for every 6x25 (as well as 8x30 and 7x35) that gets...

    Pre-nitrogen Habichts -- prices?

    Hi guys and gals, I'd need a little input from the forum. I am currently making up my mind whether to finally bite the bullet and hand out the cash to get a Habicht. Being a big porro fan and all and the fact that they seem to become rarer by the minute (it seems currently that for instance...

    Which binocular(s) did you use today?

    I thought this might be a fun thread. I got inspired to start it by similar threads in watch forums that say "what are you wearing today?". The rules are simple. You have to post a pic of the bino(s) you are using today. You could write a sentence or two why you use this one or why you like it...

    Meopta Meopro HD 8x32--first impressions and thoughts

    Hi guys and gals. So I came across a slightly used Meopta Meopro HD 8x32. Always wanted to try a Meopta and the price was about half of a new one (didn't we have that discussion about resale value? One man's loss is another man's gain, I guess :D). It arrived yesterday and I compared it to a few...

    Show us your "vintage" and classic binos

    Hi guys and gals, I thought this might be a nice idea for a thread since I mainly "hoard" (not sure one can really call it collecting) old porros (but also a few roofs every now and then) from Japan, some from Germany, lots of old USSR optics. And I'm guessing many here also have a few old gems...

    My first miniature bino -- Seiwa Kogagu, 6x25, 11.5° ^_^

    Hi all, just wanted to show some pictures of the new-to-me "miniature" bino I received today. I saw these before but never was all that interested. But then I saw this one which has the same FoV as the legendary Komz 6x24 -- and I had just lost out on an offer for one of those. I am glad I went...

    My 1st Zeiss - Jenoptem 7x50W

    There has been a gap in my collection for quite some time. Especially since I'm German myself, I don't own that many German binos. So far I only had one Optolyth 8x30 and 2 Hartmann 8x30. I often saw those vintage Zeiss porros but so far never pulled the trigger on ebay. Often the condition...

    Inside a vintage German "Hanseat" 8x30

    Hi guys and gals, I recently bought another vintage bino - an 8x30 "Hanseat", made in German from 1972. I am not 100 % sure but the construction of the prism assembly suggests that these were either made by Hartmann/Wetzlar or are a direct copy by another German company. I paid around 20€ and...

    Prostaff P7 8x30 arrived, first impressions

    Hi guys and gals, my Prostaff P7 came with UPS today. (Package seemed to have taken some abuse but luckily they used enough bubble wrap so the cardboard Nikon box was undamaged.) First impressions -- it is very light, very plasticky (not a single metal part in sight anywhere -- compared to it my...

    Canon 8x32WP still worth getting?

    In one of my usual ebay searches for used binos I stumbled across the Canon 8x32WP. I think it has some interesting specs but I read very mixed reviews online. Some said, "great for the price", "very sharp", "sturdy", etc. Others said it's way too dim. I think I rarely read so mixed reviews and...

    New member with his favourite birding binos

    Hi there, new member here from Germany, hello everyone. I thought I'd start out by posting a pic of my favourite (at the moment -- the collection keeps growing) birding binos (I mainly started buying binos for astronomy but find myself using them more and more during the day). On the left is...

    Hello from Germany

    Dear members of the forum, My name is Philipp and I'm a new member from Germany and wanted to introduce myself. So far I just started doing a little birding, watching the birds at the feeder in our garden or across the street on the large fields or some ducks on the river behind it. I started...
