    The Bushnell Forge 10x42 weighs less than the Bushnell Forge 8x42... Why?... How many elements / groups does each version have?

    Does anyone know why the Bushnell Forge 10x42 weighs less than the Bushnell Forge 8x42?: Bushnell Forge 8x42 30.8 oz = 873 g Bushnell Forge 10x42 30.4 oz = 862 g Usually 10x42 versions weigh more than their 8x42 siblings as they normally feature extra lenses (to achieve extra magnification)...

    New Genesis line or just new aesthetics?

    I've just seen on Internet a new aesthetics on the Genesis 44 line, both versions (8.5x44 and 10.5x44) in a different olive green color than usual, and no black parts (with the exception of the "Genesis 44" label on the left barrel): Is it a new/improved Genesis 44 line or is it just a new...

    Just ordered today the Kowa Genesis 44 Prominar XD 10.5x44.

    In addition to my very recent purchase of the Kowa Genesis 44 Prominar XD 8.5x44, I've just ordered the 10.5x44 version. Call me mad, but I didn't want to miss it, especially after having tested the 8.5x44. Anyway, I don't have (and not going to have) a large collection of dozens of binos like...

    Covers that fall off on Genesis 44 Prominar XD.

    To solve the problem of covers that fall off (from both: eyepieces and objectives) on my Genesis 44 Prominar XD (because they are not well fixed / fastened due to having a slightly larger diameter than necessary), I thought of sticking this 5 mm wide black adhesive tape inside the 4 caps...

    Kowa Genesis 44 Prominar XD... What filters to put?

    I have the 8.5x44 (I'm delighted with them) and I'm seriously considering buying the 10.5x44 as well. As some of you know, these binoculars have a front thread to put filters. After a lot of searching, instead of putting clear protective filters on them, I have chosen to put some UV filters...
