S.O.N.A. Repair 8x32 EL (2 Viewers)

Thanks everyone. Was beautiful out today. Had the grandkids over as I do every Friday. Deck day in the afternoon tomorrow. have an adjustable rest which I'm going to use to steady the glass. The 1 handed thing will only be for a couple of weeks

That is good to hear, you are blessed.

Thanks, yes i'm truly blessed. I'm back to being able to use both hands. When the weather gets better later this week I'll give them both a workout. I think the wife likes the SV model better. So far I can't decide.

Greeting bungart!

I just read of your open heart surgery. I had that done in August. Recovery for me was pretty fast. I did get to do a lot of walking and birding! I hope and pray for you to have a speedy recovery as well! Feel free to send me a PM of you have any concerns whatsoever about your surgery!

Take care!
 
Yes, this is where I chose to live even before I got out of business. I had been coming here for 20 years before I moved here.
Chuck, Thanks I'm doing much better now. Got the defib. pacemaker combo 4 weeks ago and it seems to be doing well. Glad You had good results with Yours.
Spent some time on the deck today with both sets of 8x32's. I'd sure hate to eat off the difference. Ideal conditions which in my opinion doesn't tell you much. More difficult conditions this week.
 
My wonderful spouse decided that she likes the SVs better. The 2010 8x32s were an upgrade for her when we bought this place. She had Leupold Yosemite 6 powers. They are quite good. The grandkids have taken them and a set of 8s over. I think I actually like the old ones better. Both are great.

I really love your story, I have also found the 8x32 EL ergos. to be very nice, I can say my favorite. I have smallish
hands and they just fit great. And I also agree about the Leupold Yosemite 6x30, I have given several of them to
my grandchildren, when they reach age 5. That is a little early, it seems, since they brought one back to me as
they broke off the eyepiece.............that reminds me, I need to send it in, and I suspect Leupold will send me
a new one.

Thanks, the ones that use the binocs are 2 eight year olds and a 13. They are very good about leaving the Swarovski's untouched
