    My only four hand-held binoculars

    Having only 2 pairs of binoculars I will chose: First one I clearly opt for the SF Victory 10x42. It is the most comfortable binoculars I have tested.

    My only four hand-held binoculars

    Zeiss SF 10x42 focuser is the best I've tried. I can characterize it as very butter smooth and quick response to the slightest movement. Also, the position of the focus wheel in the center of gravity of the binoculars, which is closer to the eyepieces, plays an important role in perfect...

    My only four hand-held binoculars

    thank you! In addition to being very bright, it also has very accurate colors. It is my standard binoculars when it comes to colors reproduction. They are so accurate that sometimes I miss a little warm tint like in Nikon MHG or Leica Ultravid.

    My only four hand-held binoculars

    Scott98, Yes, I think the EDG 7x42 is a fantastic pair of binoculars! Decisions sound difficult because there are many good binoculars! Everyone's decisions are made depending on the other binoculars in their possession. Because I wanted to have a good porro and a good 7x bino in addition to the...

    The "new kid on the block": Leica Ultravid 8x20 replaced my Leica Trinovid 8x20. Leica Ultravid 8x20 it is the binoculars that I always have with me, obviously due to its extremely compact volume. It has a top mechanical construction. Something totally absent from other pocket binoculars is the...

    Thank you Lebere16! Regarding to your question, I have never tried this Canon 10x42 IS binoculars, I only tried the Canon 8x25 IS but it did not impress me then! You should post it in the "Canon" topic to receive more answers! Welcome to the forum!

    My only four hand-held binoculars

    Thanks! I had both! If the "BC" leather version was still manufactured today, I would have bought the leather variant. But only the new models benefit from the latest optical improvements. The new Trinovid 8x20 with newer optical layers are only manufactured in "BCArmour" and that's why I opted...

    My only four hand-held binoculars

    After long and careful observations, over the years, during which I tried dozens of binoculars, I ended up with a setup of 4 binoculars. Even so it seems to me a lot of pairs, because I don't want to collect them but to use them as intensively as possible! I bought a pair of binoculars from each...
