    Swarovski Habicht 10x40W (Newest Version) vs Zeiss Dialyt 10x40 Newest Version

    I had Zeiss Dialyt 10x40 BGA TP and I had Swarovski Habicht 10x40 made in 1996. Unfortunately I did not own these binoculars at the same time so I could not compare them. I remember from memory that the Dialyt I had first was very impressive. I did not expect such an image quality. But a year or...

    Impressed by my new Nikon Monarch HG 8X30

    Today was a sunny day, I went to the bank of the river that passes through the city, it is a large colony of ducks more than 120 specimens. People who cross the river feed them from the bridge. I took with me NL 8X42 and HG 8x30. The superiority of the NL became more evident in natural light...

    Impressed by my new Nikon Monarch HG 8X30

    Hi Henry, thanks for the info. I had no idea about the issue with the 2 mm exit pupil, and as far as the image quality of the photos was concerned, I noticed that the accuracy of the photos decreases dramatically when they are enlarged on the computer screen. Probably with a more decent camera...

    Impressed by my new Nikon Monarch HG 8X30

    Regarding CA, I saw a slightly higher level of CA in Monarch 10x42, which is not a surprise to me because I know from experience that usually smaller-sized objective binoculars have a lower level of chromatic aberrations. The chromatic aberrations in this small 8x30 HG are at about the same...

    Impressed by my new Nikon Monarch HG 8X30

    Hi Beth, Noctivid has the most beautiful design in my opinion too . Finally the fog cleared and a few rays of sunshine appeared, I had the opportunity to look out the window of my room with nikon HG 8x30 and the impression is that it will be my most used binoculars. Very small and light...

    Impressed by my new Nikon Monarch HG 8X30

    I know what you're thinking: This man has 6,000 euros in binoculars and doesn't have a decent photo camera, I'm sorry about that. Maybe I'll solve this problem in the near future.;)

    Impressed by my new Nikon Monarch HG 8X30

    From left to right, HG, NL and Noctivid. I'm a little disappointed with the quality of the photos as they looked much better and with less noticeable differences on the phone screen. Here you can see more clearly the superiority of the image in NL and Noctivid, the light in my room is quite weak...

    Impressed by my new Nikon Monarch HG 8X30

    I recently had a Nikon Monarch HG 10X42. I don't really like the 10x format because I can't keep it very stable but the price of 450 euros new in the original box with documents, warranty plus accessories was very tempting. I was very impressed with the image quality so I decided to sell it and...

    Impressed & disappointed with 10x42 NL Pure

    I have a Noctivid 8x42 and an NL Pure 8x42, and for two months I still can't say exactly which one I like best. The resolution in Noctivid is huge, but because the NL has a more accurate white rendering and the chromatic aberrations are better corrected, the perceived resolution sensation is a...

    Swarovski Curio 7x21 versus Victory 8x25 and Ultravid 8x20

    Hello everyone, being very attracted to 7x magnification binoculars and just as passionate about pocket binoculars, I have been wondering for many years when one of the three top European companies will decide it's time to make a pocket of 7x magnification. That being said, I don't need to say...

    Which 10x binoculars to pair up my SLC 8x42?

    Grampa Tom, I understand what you mean about the feeling that a pair of binoculars enlarges more than in the specifications. I recently bought a Leica Noctivid 8x42 and the first impression after looking through it was that the magnification is at least 9x

    Which 10x binoculars to pair up my SLC 8x42?

    Very interesting, I voted for SF because a well-known and appreciated member of this forum, Canip, had a completely opposite experience, if I remember correctly he managed to read letters on a panel a little better with SF.

    Grandpa Tom, you didn't tell us what was more important, with which binoculars you could read those letters better.

    Which 10x binoculars to pair up my SLC 8x42?

    Hi ReinierBos, related to Habicht 10x40, according to Allbinos.com the field of view is 2 meters wider than in the factory specifications, so 110 instead of 108. And even better news according to Allbinos.com, the magnification factor is 10.5x. I tested a 10x40 Habicht 7-8 years ago comparing it...

    New Swarovski 7x Binocular

    I just talked on the phone with a friend from Denmark who had the opportunity to test the new Curio 7x21 in a store. My friend has an impressive collection of over 140 binoculars. He told me he was shocked by the quality of the image. Very relaxing for an exit pupil of only 3 mm, very clear on...

    New Swarovski 7x Binocular

    ZHDHart, I totally agree with what you say about the superiority of UV HD 8X32 over Curio, I always said that you can't leave children to do men's work. Regarding Curio versus Trinovid 8x20, we have to think that 7x21 is a completely different animal from 8x20. Nearly 15 percent more field of...
