Pulled the trigger on new ED2 7x36s
Twins from another mother I finally got them together today to really see their family resemblance. The resemblance to the old Atlas' is spooky. And the size difference is nominal for the 10x vs 7x and the 42 vs 36. I also compared the 7x36's to my Nikon SE and Vipers and I think these... -
Pulled the trigger on new ED2 7x36s
Just got them in (First impressions) Hi All, They came in surprisingly fast (given that they were shipped Monday from Oregon to San Francisco, California). They look and feel great--very substantial with thumb indentations too (Prime HDs don't have them). The fit and finish is pretty good... -
