    Meopta Meostar B1 Plus 12x50HD

    Even though I would like to have the highest transmission possible, I have yet to find the Meopta Meostar series "dim". I don't know how to phrase it properly but I think that in very bright conditions, or all out sunny conditions, it can even be somewhat of an advantage. What I mean is that...

    Meopta Meostar B1 Plus 12x50HD

    My take is that the 12x50 Meopta B1+ is extremely well corrected for CA and that the center field resolution is very hard to match, let alone surpass. I did compare it to the NL Pure 12x42 side by side and though I would prefer the NL Pure in everyday use for more than one reason I still...

    Meopta Meostar B1 Plus 12x50HD

    As I am writing this the Woodpecker is back at the bird feeder, it is a daily visitor at the moment. I am not sure if there are two of them as I think one (if there are in fact two) has a slightly different tone on the chest feathers. I am trying to gather a few shots now and then to try and...

    Meopta Meostar B1 Plus 12x50HD

    As you replied I was literally using the 12x50. Optically it is superb, even slightly better than the 15x56 I think, to the point the extra magnification was not worth having in my view as the 12x I can use handheld for some time and on tripod it is superb. EDIT: not to mention slightly better...

    Meopta Meostar B1 Plus 12x50HD

    The 12x50 is still going strong. This is a cropped handheld (!) shot of a Woodpecker (Dryobates Minor) through my kitchen window glass using an iPhone 12 mini and a cheap adapter. I did not have time to set the 12x50 on the tripod so I snapped five six images and two were usable. The Woodpecker...

    Meopta Meostar B1 Plus 12x50HD

    Hey Charlie, thanks for the feedback. I am glad you have enjoyed them. :) I am not that technical in writing my impressions and I would say they are for the most part highly subjective. Some findings I think will hold true for many others too though. I am not sure which one would be the pick of...

    Meopta Meostar B1 Plus 12x50HD

    Meopta B1 Plus series continue to impress. I have found that despite having the option/funds for any brand available on the market - and trying most of them out - I have been circling back to Meopta for primarily; the performance, and secondary: superb value for money. Despite having the...
