    Review of Kowa BD II 6.5x32 XD

    Thanks for inspiration and comment. I hope I was able to give back at least a little compared to all the insight you have all given me. I will try my best to given an honest review of the MeoStar b1.1 8x56’s I should be receiving today. I notice there is a lack of reviews on that binocular.
