Nikon WX 10x50 IF 100th Anniv. Edition
Remember, these are 100th Anniv. Edition, NIB. For reg. ones you are probably correct. -

Nikon WX 10x50 IF 100th Anniv. Edition
I haven't really thought about selling them, well not that much anyway. I had hoped more knowledgeable folks than myself would have a more concrete idea of value. Definitely stargazing only. 1 guy told me 6K, but a guesstimate. Again, not sure what I will decide. I really appreciate the info... -

OMG, that would be awful to witness, especially if I just paid for the brick. -

Nikon WX 10x50 IF 100th Anniv. Edition
I have just inherited this pair of binos, new unopened in the box. I am trying to decide if I want to find a better home for them or keep them. Only 50 were ever made is what I know and the glass is supposed to be unparalleled. I did find out this info online. I know they are highly sought after... -

Meostar B1.1 plus
MeoStar B1 Plus I have the new MeoStar B1 Plus binos and feel that they are easier to grip for extended periods of time than the B1.1 10x42 binos. I let a buddy try them out who also has a pair of B1.1's and he also liked the new body style. We both felt the hinged system was a bit stiff but... -

Cleaning/Anti-Fog
I keep my backpack in my truck at night so that the bino's don't get warm from being inside. I have been using the MeoStar B1's for 2 season's now and could not be happier with their low light clarity. I also use Purple Steam wipes to clean my glasses and binos as needed. They have anti-fog...- bartd

New for 2020 Meopta Meopro Air Binoculars
agree I have to agree. I think a quality semi-compact bino may show up one of these days. Their MeoSport bino is nice but lacks the quality of their higher-end binos. I am really looking forward to seeing the MeoStar Plus bino this year. -

New neighborhood, new hawk
I love my Meopta MeoStar spotter. For the money, I don't think it can be beaten! How far away were you? I would like to know more about the Novagrade attachment too. Great pics!- bartd

Meopta Meostar Lineup
Correct about the Air, It has the HDED+ glass and the MeoStar has the HDFL (Fluoride coating) which is better and the reason for the price difference. I'm looking forward to seeing the ergonomic difference with the MeoStar B1 Plus. -

Swarovski ATS 80 HD Clones?
Meopta MeoPro HD 80 Angled I can't say enough good things about my MeoPro Spotter. Very bright with edge to edge clarity. The angled eye piece works best for my viewing and the 20-60 magnification range is plenty for my needs. Buy it and don't look back... -

New MeoStar B1 Plus Binoculars
I am not sure if Meopta has a primary market. They strive to make a very good bino that will leave the user with no regrets. I have the MorStar B1 10x50's and they are IMHO better than my other Euro bino's that cost more than double. I know the new for 2020 Air bino's have confused a lot of... -

New MeoStar B1 Plus Binoculars
The new MeoPro Air binos have MeoStar quality HDED glass that will give you MeoStar bino clarity. I have yet to look through a pair so that is all I have to go on right now. I do know that Meopta will not sell you short and if they tell you the clarity is the same, it is. -

New for 2020 Meopta Meopro Air Binoculars
Friends of mine who looed at these while at SHOT Show last week were very impressed. They loved the open design and ergonomics of the bino. They all said the glass was on a MeoStar level instead of MeoPro. All 5 guys did say this is a bino they would buy for their own use. I haven't seen them... -

Meopta with no box??
I would look at who the dealer is in NY, if it's Cameraland NT, you are safe. They sell to many binoculars to risk doing anything that will hurt their reputation. I own 2 pair of Meopta bino's and I can't say enough positives about them. My MeoStar B1's are better than my other Euro bino's that...- bartd

A Brief Introduction to the New MeoStar B1.1 Binoculars
Great info, Thank you! I am a big Meopta fan and love my MeoStar B1 binos. I also recently picked up a pair of Optika 10x42 binos, also by Meopta. At under $300 they will not let you down and have already spent over 100 hours in the field with me. -

Meopta 15x56 HD - Reviews and Information
Nice job Great reading all the positive reviews on Meopta Binos. I have been a fan for years but only recently got a pair of MeoStar 10x42 binos. It is only now that I realize how true the Meopta glass really is when looking through them. MeoStar 10x42... -

Best mechanically built binoculars today ?
MeoStar bino I agree with JG's hand on assessment of the Meopta MeoStar line of bino's. I worked with another optic's company for almost a decade and then parted ways. The first time I looked throu9gh a pair of MeoStar bino's I knew I wanted to work with Meopta. The MeoStar bino line is...- bartd

Meopta MeoPro HD 8x42 vs Vortex Viper HD 8x42 (2018)
I used a buddies MeoPro 10x42's last fall and it wasn't until I looked up the price that I was amazed. A lot of quality for a great price. I don't think you will be disappointed in your purchase. My friend lives in Maine and his bino's are on his boat or at his camp with him. They have...- bartd

What scope is this ?
It looks like it's built like a tank! I have the new MONARCH 20-60x82 Fieldscope and I am very happy with it. The built-in sliding sunshade has been a much-used feature. -

Small binoculars : Nikon M7 8*30 vs Zeiss Terra Pocket 8*25... or something else
Nikon MONARCH 7 8x30 Agree, Nikon's MONARCH 7 8x30's are great bino's for sub $400. I just bought my second pair as an early Christmas gift to my bird watching step-mother in Oregon. She used mine last year while visiting and loved em. Nikon just came out with the new 8/10x30 HG bino's that...- bartd

Nikon Action Extreme vs Nikon Prostaff
You will not be disappointed with the Nikon PROSTAFF 7S bino's. I have a few friends who use them and no complaints. Excellent in low light too. They are under a Nikon Sponsored Promo right now that any Nikon Dealer will honor. -

NIKON introduces new Monarch HG 8x30 and 10x30 Binoculars
I have been using Nikon's MONARCH HG 10x42 binos for over a year now. I think without a doubt they are the best bino's I own and that includes some Euro bino's that cost more than double. The clarity and low use make them perfect for my needs. It's great that Nikon has come out with a more... -

finding a decent 10x3-32 waterproof
bino's Nikon's EDG bino's are very nice but the new MONARCH HG bino's are worth checking out for under a grand. The filed flattener's and glass make this an option worth checking out. I love mine!- bartd

Action 7x35 EX Extreme All-Terrain Binocular
I agree. I also like the Action Extreme 7x35's. Rugged and not overly bulky. They are very clear and work great for my In-Law's who wear glasses. I really like the wide field of view and click eye cup's for viewing as well. For what they cost I think you will be very happy with all you get...
