    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    I returned the Habicht 8x30 :eek:. Although I liked it, it felt like it didn't fill a gap in my arsenal. I have the NL 10x32 as pretty lightweight and didn't see a lot of reason to grap the 8x30 instead of the 10x32, because I do like the added power of the 10x32. The ergonomics of the NL 10x32...

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    How many pocket bins do you actually have? Do some of them gather dust or do you all use them? Do you have, besides the pocket bins, other bins as well? Can you tell us something about your disease? 😉 How did you get it? I am sorry about firing all those questions. I do feel some...

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    That's why I actually prefer swarovski. The view of the Zeiss VP is probably better, because of the bigger FOV and higher transmission, bit I prefer the handling, the looks and the feeling of the Swarovski's. The eyecups fit my eyes better as wel. I did not really like the Terra 8x25 and sold it.

    And CL 25 compared with the Curio? Which one has the stiffer hinges? I know you have all the pocket bins that exist of the big brands 🙂

    One question: what do you think of the stiffnes of the hinges? Do you prefer one over the other? I like the stiffness of the Trinovid's. The hinges of the CL's are a bit more floppy? Or are they fine as well?

    Thanks! Laid down on the famous Swedish moss 🙂. For now I decided to go for the Habicht 8x30 first. Maybe I will add a CL 10x25 or 7x21 later. I still like the Trinovids for its size and appereance though!

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    Typo? You meant CL 10x25? Thanks for your reply. Maybe I will add the 10x25 and one day the Habicht 8x30 or 7x42 as well. The 3D view must be really nice. I only looked through the Habicht 8x30 for couple of minutes. Too short to really see the 3D view. What I DID notice was the really stiff...

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    But you also wrote: Weight with straps (Ultravid caps) 232g vs 256g. The 24 grams less are not felt in reality, but they are the result of a smaller body of Trinovid. (draw) That was also what I thought. Not really noticable, but yet it is, according to PW42. I understand, for a pocket bin...

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    Do you also think that the CL 10x25 is more comfortable in use than the trinovid 8x20, despite the same exit pupil of just 2.5mm? I mentioned the Habicht 8x30 :). I am thinking about getting one as well (instead of a second pocket bin), but there is some appeal in the Habicht 7x42 as well. I am...

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    I am leaning towards this 10x25 now. I think the ultravid and trinovid 10x25 are a bit too finicky for my taste, having the same uncomfortable small eyecups as the 8x20's and they are still very lightweight for a 25mm. The CL 10x25 is 350 gram and has comfortable eyecups. So I think the CL 10x25...

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    I didn't know the size/weight difference was noticable between the trinovid 8x20 and the ultravid 8x20. And if you compare the ultravid 8x20 with the curio 7x21? Which one is is bigger/heavier? Or are they comparable? Do you use any rainguard/caps/strap on the trinovid? Or do you just put them...

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    So when do you use the trinovid 8x20? The ultravid is better in alsmost every aspect. Maybe just a tad heavier/larger. Do you sometimes have two of them with you? In one pocket the Curio and the other one a 8x20? Or doesn't that make a lot of sense? :)

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    I have no experience with 7x. The only contenders for 7x are the 7x21 (as small as possible but still comfortable in use) and the Habicht 7x42 (for the exit pupil of 6mm and use during night.) The attraction of 7x must be the bigger DOF and stability.

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    I have been thinking about the Habicht 8x30 instead of the CL 8x30, but I am still concerned about this stiff focuser. What I like about the CL 25's, is that it is possible to put in the pocket of my jacket, although it is quite heavy.

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    I do use my trinovid 8x20 a lot, because it is always with me. So it is good having at least one 20/21mm pocket bin for in the pocket. For that purpose the trinovid serves fine. The ultravid would be better, but it is not the image quality that needs improvement, it is the comfort. So swapping...

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    I already have the Trinovid 8x20. I like it, because it is so small and it is not the newest, so I do not have to pamper it. I'd like to add a swarovski pocket bin and I like all three of them. Which one would be the most af an addition? Comfortable in use, quality and glare resistance are...
