    Leaving Swarovski for Meopta ?

    Hi Ries, just to tempt you: There is currently a sale on a slovak hunting eshop - B1.1 12x50 for 800e and 15x56 for 1000e. https://www.ibo.sk/optika/dalekohlady/dalekohlad-meopta-meostar-b1.1-12x50-hd I personally don't want to spend alpha-level money on a new bino, but at this price I couldn't...

    Meopta 15x56 HD - Reviews and Information

    Hi HenRun, I wasn't able to arrange a comparison in a shop, because local hunters don't buy 15x binos, so even if all hunting shops have some 15x listed on their websites, they don't really physically have them for comparison. So I ordered the Meostar B1+ online. But it didn't fit my eyes wery...

    Meopta 15x56 HD - Reviews and Information

    Hi HenRun, and thank you for the pics. The Swaro adapter sure looks squeezed there :) The Leica adapter certainly is lower, and also allows for some forward/backward balance adjustment, I'm intrigued... But judging from the photos, it might not quite fully fit the 15x56, did you use it like...

The price is a bit steep, and I have about 65mm of IPD so maybe a thicker one would work too. A strap adapter is interesting, because it doesn't need...

    Meopta 15x56 HD - Reviews and Information

    kestrel1: I noticed that too and already asked them about the B1. Sadly they are out of stock and not being made anymore. From what I've seen there should still be some B1.1 around for 100e less than the B1+. I do want to do some in-shop comparison of the MeoStar B1.1/+ vs Swaro SLC, but given...

    Meopta 15x56 HD - Reviews and Information

    Hi HenRun, you mentioned that you ordered the new Swaro SLC 15x56 HD (W B or how it is officially called). Theoretically the Swaro should be sharp to the very edge, and slightly brighter. The field flattening of the Swaro is supposedly great, except some people don't like it when panning...
