    10x Promaster and Frontier

    Steve - My decision process and past experience mirrors yours. I just sold my 8.5ELs but will keep my Leica Trinovid 10x42.

    10x Promaster and Frontier

    I mentioned this before and am still wondering. What if Promaster decides two years from now to drop there ELX (top end ED glass bino) and after this mine takes on water. I have limited experience to draw from. What do you think would happen? Promaster says "so sorry" or ????

    10x Promaster and Frontier

    Frank - I'm sure your correct plus the fact that any minor inferiorities are more evident when magnafied by 10.

    10x Promaster and Frontier

    I have never had a set of ED's in hand but my experience with multiple set's of SP's that the ED's better be WAY better to best the Promasters. To me these are easily better than any SP's I have owned. The ONE and only thing I like about the SP's is what seems to me is very good color...

    10x Promaster and Frontier

    I'll take my beating now please. I was wrong. The alpha's are 330 and the others are 315. I know in 8x the difference in the FOV on the Leica/Swaro seems more than what is advertised in feet.

    10x Promaster and Frontier

    IIRC - Leica/Swaro = 360ft But more important is the apparent FOV which on the alpha's always "looks" wider than any Japaneze model. To me anyway......

    10x Promaster and Frontier

    Any new NEWS??? I am VERY tempted to try the 10X but the 330ft FOV has me less enthusiastic. The 8x's are Superb.
