    Kite Lynx HD 8x30

    Samandag, post 36, From your verdict about the Kite Lynx 8x30HD I understand that you have done solid research about its qualities in comparison with the Nikon M7 8x30. Can you please inform us in detail what differences you found, since that is important for this forum. Gijs

    Kite Lynx HD 8x30

    Florian and Chris, The only thing I know is that the Monarch, the Lynx and the Conquests are produced by Kamakura Koki , but I do not know whether they are produced in their Japanese or in their Chinese factory. If the quality control is the same for both factories it should not matter. The...

    Kite Lynx HD 8x30

    Florian, I can not look into the minds of the Zeiss directors, but they must have found it better to do it this way. They do nothing wrong, considering they are working within European and American legal rules. And for consumers it is not so important if the quality of the instrument is...

    Kite Lynx HD 8x30

    Lee, I agree with you, we also have laws for it in Europe and they may be different for the USA laws, but that still can mean that all parts are produced in Japan and that the assembly or (a specific part of it described by USA law) is done in Germany. As I said before, I find that no problem...

    Kite Lynx HD 8x30

    Jerry, The Conquest is mainly a Japanese product made by Kamakura and Zeiss did not make a secret of it. Using the conditions posed by German law, Zeiss could put the label "made in Germany"on the Conquests by performing a certain percentage of the assembly of the Conquests in Germany. I have...

    Kite Lynx HD 8x30

    Chris, The Janpanese company which makes the Monarch, the Lynx and the Conquest does have a large factory in China, so it could very well be that the Monarch is made in China. The reason that the Lynx and the Conques are more expensive might than be, that they are made in the Japanese factory...

    Kite Lynx HD 8x30

    Dear Chris and David, We have investigated the Lynx 8x30 and 10x30. From the 8x30 we found that 95% of 151m/1000m FOV was sharp. This amounts to 144 m/1000m, measured with a Möller FOV meter was sharp and there was not much distortion. We did not observe a difference in shape between the sweet...
