    Any "compact scopes" that you like?

    Nice to see more people believing in Christ being our Lord. God bless you Chuck. I vote for the ATC 56, although the STC 56 would be nice too. I have the ATC 56 and even like to use it without a tripod.

    Case for 32 nl pure with head rest

    The case that came with the EL 32 and SLC 42 is a perfect fit for the NL 32, with or without the headrest. Unfortunately it is hard to find one lately.

    Choosing pocket binoculars

    Why did you go for Mountain instead of Wild Nature? The strap? The colours? The case?

    Having 2 pairs of binoculars. Which would you choose?

    I don't think that is true. The AFOV of the SF 10x32 is larger than the AFOV of NL 8x32. The NL 8x32 doesn't really shine with is AFOV compared with all the other NL's.

    Choosing pocket binoculars

    Is there a reason why you went with Mountain? I didn't really like the strap coming with the Wild Nature. I think a cord/string is more comfortable. I want to add the CL 10x25 one day and am now considering Mountain as well.

    Very light* setup (binoculars + scope)

    Yes, I have the same experience. I have three children now (the youngest still a baby) and like being outside with them, like walking, cycling (which we do a lot in pancake Netherlands) or just in the garden. That's why I love the compacts a lot and just got this lovely Curio 7x21. I prefer...

    Having 2 pairs of binoculars. Which would you choose?

    Why not the other way around? So NL 10x32 and SF 8x32. FOV NL 10x32 > FOV SF 10x32 and FOV SF 8x32 > FOV NL 8x32. Or did it just happen to be this way?

    10x32 EL SV or 10x42 SLC

    Both very nice! The 10x32 has 120mm FOV, the 10x42 110m. The 10x42 a bit better in difficult light (less glare as well.) The 10x32 lighter and just a bit nicer colours during the day, imo.

    Curio 7x21 vs. CL 8x25 pocket

    I like them both, but I have decided to just keep the Curio 7x21. The strap is just a little too short for my liking, because I like to wear binoculars bandolier style. Does anybody have a good idea? Longer ones (preferable detachable like those of the trinovids) for sale anywhere?

    Curio 7x21 vs. CL 8x25 pocket

    It's in both directions. Smooth, but just a little bit dryer than the one of the CL 25. But then, the one of the CL 25 is very fluid, almost spongy. They both have really nice focusers.

    Having 2 pairs of binoculars. Which would you choose?

    The swarovski scope ATC 17-40x56. Having just one: NL 10x32 Having two: NL 10x32 + SLC 8x42 Having three: NL 10x32 + SLC 8x42 + Curio 7x21 Having four: add the EL 12x50 All 4 powers and all needs (for me) covered. And of course a scope. No need for a bigger one.

    Curio 7x21 vs. CL 8x25 pocket

    I still love them both very much... don't know which one I will keep. The bigger size of the CL 8x25 is slightly more comfortable for me. Keeping both doesn't really make sense. Maybe I well keep the Curio and later add the CL 10x25...

    Curio 7x21 vs. CL 8x25 pocket

    Do you have a picture of it? I do think the Curio is more vulnerable than the CL 25 because of this painted metal. Is it silver colour underneath the black paint?

    Curio 7x21 vs. CL 8x25 pocket

    In my case the focuser of the CL 8x25 is better, smoother. The focuser of the Curio is dryer and has just a bit more friction.

    Curio 7x21 vs. CL 8x25 pocket

    Both really good looking imo.

    Curio 7x21 vs. CL 8x25 pocket

    I did a short comparison here: 8x20 in possession. Which one to add? I actually like both very much and it is hard to decide which one I would keep. Then don't try the Zeiss Victory Pocket 8x25. It is even worse! For me the CL's fit my eyes perfectly

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    I returned the Habicht 8x30 :eek:. Although I liked it, it felt like it didn't fill a gap in my arsenal. I have the NL 10x32 as pretty lightweight and didn't see a lot of reason to grap the 8x30 instead of the 10x32, because I do like the added power of the 10x32. The ergonomics of the NL 10x32...

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    How many pocket bins do you actually have? Do some of them gather dust or do you all use them? Do you have, besides the pocket bins, other bins as well? Can you tell us something about your disease? 😉 How did you get it? I am sorry about firing all those questions. I do feel some...

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    That's why I actually prefer swarovski. The view of the Zeiss VP is probably better, because of the bigger FOV and higher transmission, bit I prefer the handling, the looks and the feeling of the Swarovski's. The eyecups fit my eyes better as wel. I did not really like the Terra 8x25 and sold it.

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    And CL 25 compared with the Curio? Which one has the stiffer hinges? I know you have all the pocket bins that exist of the big brands 🙂

    New but probably wrong insight about lowlight

    Thanks for all the answers! I received the book, but haven't read it yet. So maybe I will get some answers while reading it. But for now I still don't understand it totally what is wrong with the assumption I made and visualised in this picture. Can somebody explain what is wrong? Although Jan...

    8x20 in possession. Which one to add?

    One question: what do you think of the stiffnes of the hinges? Do you prefer one over the other? I like the stiffness of the Trinovid's. The hinges of the CL's are a bit more floppy? Or are they fine as well?

    Curio 7x21 vs. CL 8x25 pocket

    You have the CL Companion 8x30 as well if I remember correctly? Yes, than it makes more sense keeping the Curio 7x21. Letting the 10x32 SF go would have been a bigger sacrifice for me, as I like the 10x32 size (I have the NL 10x32).

    New but probably wrong insight about lowlight

    Are you saying that the 10x40 will win in brightness, or only in seeing details with the same brightness?
