Review, Leupold Mojave BX-3 8x32
There is no doubt in my mind that our eyes play an important role, and not only them---the shape of the face, the depth of our eye sockets etc. I may see glare in cases in which you do not see any, I may detect CA whereas you see none. A particular set (say the SE 8x32) may blackout on me all... -
Review, Leupold Mojave BX-3 8x32
There are happy users as well as unhappy ones (myself included----my sample had a very small sweet spot, as described in some previous posts in this thread). The problem seems to be QC. -
Review, Leupold Mojave BX-3 8x32
mojave bx3 8x32 The harness costs 40$-60$, so the binos are sold for less than 200$! How do these guys make a living?---the production cost should be less than 75$---is that possible? The harness seems to be the same as: http://www.s4gear.com/pages/products/lockdown.php and it is definitely an... -
Review, Leupold Mojave BX-3 8x32
Mojave bx3 8x32 Hi Steve: Thanks for taking time to comment. Very briefly: *IMO the ergonomics of the Mojave are not as good as those of other sets that I possess, such as the SV and the DCF Pentax, so there was no reason for me to try another Mojave. True I still do not know what the problem... -
Review, Leupold Mojave BX-3 8x32
Mojave bx3 8x32 I have to agree with Steve that probably I had a bad copy. I could test that hypothesis by buying another one, but I won't: the way the Mojave handled and felt in my hand was not the best I've seen: the eyecups were too large for my IPD and nose bridge, and the barrels were not... -

Mojave bx3 8x32 Hi peatmoss: Thanks again for your comments! The Mojave went back to the dealer. Its eyecups were too large for my (average) IPD and pushed against my nose bridge, and while its ergonomics were better than say those of the FL 8x32, they were not as good as those of the SV and... -
Review, Leupold Mojave BX-3 8x32
mojave bx3 8x32 I have done a few more tests (sorry for multiple postings). What I said in my previous post about the sweet spot size was based on a marked tape placed horizontally---then the spot extended symmetrically on both sides of the center. When I placed the tape vertically, I noticed... -
Review, Leupold Mojave BX-3 8x32
mojave bx3 8x32 Many thanks for your prompt feedback. I have tried to estimate the Mojave's sweet spot more objectively, using a 24'' ruler (unfortunately a rather short one for accurate estimation), and I agree with your estimate of about 60%. While this is not a "point", it is a rather small... -
Review, Leupold Mojave BX-3 8x32
Mojave's sweet spot size I must apologize for this untimely posting, but I have just received a Mojave 8x32 BX-3 set and was surprised to see that, to my eyes, they have the smallest sweet spot I have ever seen--the center of the FoV is sharp, but the blurring starts right away and the edge is...
