Meopta 15x56 HD
Hello James, sorry to hear about Eyeballs MK1, hopefully you will be back to 20/20 ( or roughly thereabouts) after your impending operation. Best wishes for a successful outcome. I love the analogy with the wellies as it sums up the Meopta’s perfectly. They are not flash, are to some a tad... -

Meopta 15x56 HD
@Bentley03 Well that's common sense out of the window...... I had put the Meopta 8x56 B1 Plus firmly on the back burner for a few months but periodically checked the SWOptics (SWO) website to see current prices and availability. Based on your experience with them I made SWO an offer on the... -

Meopta 15x56 HD
Damm those dodgy fingers! Must admit that I wanted to continue the ever expanding SW fleet but couldn’t justify the wrath of the holder of the purse on buying the 15x SLC‘s. Not for a pair that I really didn’t need with a magnification that is more than adequately covered by my Opticron scope... -

Meopta 15x56 HD
Very suitable for low/falling light and amazing clarity and brightness. You mentioned the fact that the Meopta's were not HD and interestingly neither are my Geco's. Prior to buying them I asked Geco why they had opted not to fit their HD/ED glass. They opined that as they were designed... -

Meopta 15x56 HD
Yes it is strange that they haven't fitted HD glass to them. I am only looking at them as the Geco/GPO 8x56's I have are heavy due in part to the AK prisms. But they are really good and low light monsters. The Meopta's appeal as they are smaller and about 5oz/150g ish lighter. Food for thought. -

Meopta 15x56 HD
Thank you again for your advice. They are exceptional and for £995 rather than £2000+ for the Swarovski I am rather pleased. I love my Swarovski's and am sure that the 15x is exceptional but this is a purchase I didn't intend to make on a magnification that was not on the radar until I saw the... -

Meopta 15x56 HD
The Eagle has Landed...well the Meopta Meostar B1 Plus 15x56's have arrived courtesy of SW Optics. First impression. WOW! After a sit down, mounted on a Gitzo Legende and viewing Herons 400m away. Wow! Feather detail, eyes and just everything as sharp as a very sharp thing. These are just... -

Meopta 15x56 HD
Thank you! Yes SW Optics and yes a good price too but alas the last one methinks. I will see how I get on with them as they have one or two other Meopta's which appeal to my chronic GAS condition! You live in a lovely part of the World and so close to the magnificent coastline. We often stay... -

Meopta 15x56 HD
Thank you so much for your very promt reply and for your your advice. Very much appreciated! I don't wear glasses so ER is not a particular problem but like all things our eyes and facial designs are different! But good to know. I would love to have a look through them but sadly there is a... -

Meopta 15x56 HD
I am trying to persuade myself that the Meopta 15x56 would be a better choice over a Kite IS. I appreciate that it is always preferable to try as we are all different, but was the Meopta you pitched against the Zeiss impressive? Any thoughts would be most appreciated and was the version you...
