    What's the latest on Meopta?

    Thank you, Tenex. It is strange that Meopta should enhance optically, design and manufr. two configs. to be sold only thru. Cabelas. Am undecided among 10x32, 10x42, and 12x50, in MeoStar HD, to add to a 15x56. After your post searched more on the 'net and came across an unused "MeoStar HD"...

    What's the latest on Meopta?

    Gcole, thank you. Why do you not use a 10x32 bino which you have and praise? I ask because I have a Zeiss Conquest 10x32 which "does not agree with me" and am thinking of possibly replacing it with another 10x32, now possibly a MeoStar 10x32 HD (please see above).

    What's the latest on Meopta?

    Gcole, sorry, but I've lost track of some of these accounts, so could you please recap: You prefer, or did, (1) the view thru. MeoStar 8x32 B1.1 to that thru. MeoStar 8x32 B1 Plus, and (2) thru MeoStar 10x32 B1.1 to that thru. Zeiss Victory FL 10x32, and you now use, or have, Meostar B1.1 in...

    What's the latest on Meopta?

    In 2021 Aug. I wrote the foll. in another thread. Jim is Imans66. The quoted text, which still appears in their website, and what Tenex's contact at Meopta says, conveyed above at post #27, are contradictory. The only answer there was from Gcole, as follows. Has anyone experienced a definite...

    What's the latest on Meopta?

    Tenex, thanks: 17%. I see. Should be a coincidence (the weight of the glass and metal parts will differ in other ratios). SLC. Somehow I had clean forgotten that Swaro. has given this name to their 56s also. Sorry! The present Swaro. 15x56 and Meopta 15x56 with the Al body are each 1,200 g...

    What's the latest on Meopta?

    Now checked the specs of the B1+/HD 15x56 given in all the websites I can get to of retailers worldwide who currently offer it and in all of them the weight is the older and higher figure. Leica is not very different there, and hence I think one can be a bit more optimistic, about Meopta! I...

    What's the latest on Meopta?

    Sorry I was too brief. Best I think is to copy out the foll. and then comment. Serial? no. on instrument: 220663 From the box: Quote: MeoStar B1 Series HD Optical System // Aluminium alloy chassis ... HD Fluoride optical system 99.7% light transmission per lens surface MeoBright coating...

    What's the latest on Meopta?

    Tenex, my B1+/HD 15x56 was bought new from a major US retailer in 2023 March and is 1200 (exactly) g without straps or caps. The 2023 catalog that mentions magnesium construction gives 992 g for the 15x56. (That's 17% less!) I have no knowledge about changes in the design and in the manuf...
