    GPO Passion HD (German Precision Optics)

    I can’t speak of what factory they made in or where, but if you know please share. That would be interesting info. The specs, optics and coatings look real good, as good as any $1000 bino I have or looked through. IMHO build quality is better than any $1000 bino on the market. The alphas Could...

    GPO Passion HD (German Precision Optics)

    I’m not going to get to deep into a China conversation here on bird forum because it would dark real fast. They are on the top of the charts for evil in hour time, millions dead , families grieving, economies destroyed. And they take no responsibility, and blame other countries. I’ll leave it...

    GPO Passion HD (German Precision Optics)

    Very well said and a good read. I agree 100% , today you almost can’t get away from buying something that says it made somewhere other than China and still have the few materials made from China. Things alike the metal, magnesium, plastics, and so on. It’s almost like it’s all the Materials and...

    GPO HD line not made in chicom. Anthing below the HD line is Chicom. I was just using Zeiss and Nikon as an example, but I hear you. I try not to buy anything chicom. And that goes for crap at the department stores and large outlets. I look for alternatives everywhere. It really is not easy...

    GPO Passion HD (German Precision Optics)

    That’s not putting it nicely. I really don’t see it that way. I see more of a shift in how companies can bring products (quality products in this example) to the market place, and I believe you’ll see more of this in the future. Their open about the arrangement and are not hiding anything. I’m...

    GPO Passion HD (German Precision Optics)

    I think a lot of people like to hear German optics, but if it was American made, and it was as good or better than let’s say optics made by Leupold or some of the old Bausch & Lomb of the past. Then I think they’d be a huge market. I think calling it German precision Optics is applicable if the...

    I believe they are one in the same. The two people mentioned are partners as I’ve been told.

    GPO Passion HD (German Precision Optics)

    i’m quite surprised that these binoculars are not taking off with the birding and hunting community. As per some of these reviews they’re placing these clearly in the alpha category. I can understand the general binocular buying public who are not buying Binoculars at $1000 or over. But people...

    GPO Passion HD (German Precision Optics)

    You brought some new info to the discussion, Thank you. You said it will be forced to hang its head in shame by nothing currently on the market? Can you elaborate as to where you feel these $1000 Binoculars fit? Dont quote me please , but there was something said that these are designed by...

    GPO Passion HD (German Precision Optics)

    There are not to many reviews on these out there. BBR did a real good review and rated them best binocular in 2019 and best binoculars at $1000 in 2021. But there’s also another review out there that wasn’t that kind. I wonder if it’s sample to sample issue. The one I have replaced a conquest...

    GPO Passion HD (German Precision Optics)

    I bought one of these passion HD 10x42 binoculars last spring and am very pleased. IMO the optics and build quality together exceed they’re $1000 price point. This company is an upstart about 5 years old I believe. The owner is a former long time employee of Zeiss, which can been seen in his...
