    The APM 6.5x32 ED IF, compared to the APM 6x30 – A Few Thoughts

    I find them actually very comfortable to use. I was a bit afraid of their large diameter, since I have a relatively narrow IPD, but I find the ease of view great. The only thing I could complain about is that the rubber eyecups come off too easily when I try to fold them down (which I usually...

    The APM 6.5x32 ED IF, compared to the APM 6x30 – A Few Thoughts

    Since Holger Merlitz noticed that the exit pupils appear smaller than they should, I measured the specifications of the APM (yes, I know, I have a pedantic bent:(), see https://binocular.ch/12117-2/ One could say that this is a 6.7x31 binocular, not 6.5x32, but specs are in fact relatively...

    Product Review: The Sky Rover Banner Cloud 8 x 42 Binocular

    I use a tripod with precision degree scale, then mount the bino horizontally, focus at infinity, look through the objectives, rotate the binos so that I can see a narrow, distinct and well defined object at no less than 100m distance wander across the entire field of view, keeping the object at...

    Product Review: The Sky Rover Banner Cloud 8 x 42 Binocular

    Ignatius (post #32), I usually only use it for binos with a body shape that doesn’t t fit well on the Berlebach (e.g., Swaro Visio or EL Range ). I clearly prefer the Berlebach, or then the usual adapters which screw into the hole at the front of the hinge.

    Product Review: The Sky Rover Banner Cloud 8 x 42 Binocular
