    Meopta 15x56 HD

    At first sight yes but when you look at the FOV of the Meopta, it's clearly one step below the other two.

    Meopta 15x56 HD

    Thought you'd figured that out by yourself by now! Just read my previous posts.

    Meopta 15x56 HD

    You are absolutely right, it's the schmidt-Pechan design that needs it, abbe-koenig use total reflection, thanks Bob.

    Meopta 15x56 HD

    One thing that annoys me about some "almost alpha" users (Pentax ED, Meopta and others) is their claim that these makes (in their high end range) equal the best for less cash. They should keep in mind that Zeiss and Swarovski design super wide angle (65° or more), very well corrected binoculars...

    Meopta 15x56 HD

    I own a Zeiss Conquest 15x56 HD and a Swarovski EL SV 8x32 for your information, don't assume I only go by the numbers... I know what immersion through binoculars actually means!

    Meopta 15x56 HD

    The problem with Meopta is that they always trail behind the others, for instance if you take the Zeiss Conquest HD 15x56, it has 80m/1000m FOV (versus 73m) 18mm ER (versus 15mm), 93% (versus 89%) light transmission, in the same price range. 15mm ER is just not enough for spectacle wearers to...
