    RSPB 8x20 HD

    Went out again today. Similar weather and similar result. These little bins are quite extraordinary for distance viewing was again my over riding impression, of course they also work well for close in viewing but it's a little harder to centre them with your eye positioning being more critical...

    RSPB 8x20 HD

    Got a quick look outside today along by the river and flood plains. Low sun, eyes streaming with the cold and wind but pretty bright and clear morning. I give these HD the thumbs up basically. There's no getting away from the fact that they are a tiny binocular but I was surprised that I...

    RSPB 8x20 HD

    Great news! Thanks again to Niki. Got the replacement and it is indeed probably the most perfect twin hinge bin I've ever encountered. Both hinges pretty tight, eyecup click stops perfect on both, focuser pretty smooth but more importantly accurate and gets the sharpness out of the lenses...

    RSPB 8x20 HD

    Good news! I'm getting a replacement courtesy of the very helpful Niki and folks at Viking Optical Centre. Apparently this replacement works perfectly so that will be great. I have to say from what I saw before it went haywire I really liked it a lot and no glare on top of all the other good...

    RSPB 8x20 HD

    Seems to be the same bin as this Alpen Wings 8x20 and gets the thumbs up from the Amazon reviewers with several referring to Leica as a comparison. http://www.amazon.com/ALPEN-Wings-Compact-Waterproof-Binocular/dp/B004UQI6K6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8 So maybe things are looking up.

    RSPB 8x20 HD

    Don't know but I thought it strange that except for the rubber they look very similar & have the same spec, (edit: sorry think the Diamondback has a wider fov 119m v 108 for the Bresser so think I would prefer the Diamondback. It's the 8x28 Viper with a similar fov to the Bresser). This latest...

    RSPB 8x20 HD

    Oh dear. Thanks for the information anyhow. You mention the reverse porro 8x25 and the reason I ordered the 8x20 is that I just returned an 8x25 Pentax UP as it just wasn't as good as my Papilio 6.5x or my Vistron 8x25 but around equal or a little better than my Bresser 8x28. I went for the...

    RSPB 8x20 HD

    Just bought/ordered a used demo 8x20. Anyone any thoughts / experience of this model? I think it has ED glass and dielectric prisms so can't be that bad. No, experience tells me differently but I live in hope yet again. I like the look of it at least from the pics and the fov is decent/sort...
