    WTB Mint Leopold BX-3 8X32

    Looking for a BX-3 8X32 in mint condition in box, or even as a reach, brand new in box. Thanks

    Has anyone compared 10x ELs & Noctovids?

    Not much difference between the Noctivid and the EL SV regarding transmission. For Low light if 10X is your choice and weight is not a problem, then the SLC 10X56 or the HT 10X54 would fit the bill. JMO.

    New Zeiss Bino—SFL 10x40–Review

    I have never thought Swarovski SVs or NLs to have 3D views.

    Meopta

    I wonder why the Moderator at Birdforum would make this statement, however he does have contacts in the EU, and they are not doing well going forward.

    There is an excellent SV 12X50 for sale on Bird forum classifieds by a great seller if anyone is interested.

    WTS * SCAM ALERT * -> Liberty9

    This was also posted on the Birdforum classifieds forum. The flag for me (dries1 on bird forum) is the $1,000 SLC 8X42, even from 2013, still worth at least $1,300.00. They always try to lure one in with a lower than normal price. If it is too good to be true it likely isn't. Andy W.

    WTS Meopta Meostar 8x42

    New ones are now over $1200, and with just a bit more transmission, tough to replace at cost even near what you bought them for. Andy W.

    Swarovski NL Pure Binocular

    Zog, I did like your previous post regarding decisions on choosing the 8X 10X and 12X formats, it was funny. I have a few 10X42s and 10X50s, the 8X42 NL provides that nice wide view as an all around glass for different uses. Andy W.

    8x Bino Recommendations

    Try out a pair of Leupold Alpine in 8 or 10X42 for a bit less than $200, they surprised me and they are very portable, Leupold did a good job with these. That way if she does not go out with you again, you have not committed too much $$. Andy W.

    Swarovski NL Pure Binocular

    I procured the NL 8X42, it is a very nice glass, I already am set at 10X42 and higher. It is not bad under dark skies either. Andy W.

    Discontinued Trinovids Vs Ultravid HD

    It is a nice glass, it compares well with others priced higher. The build quality is a step above the new HD Trinovids. Andy W.

    Bino Advice

    Zeeman, If you could try both and determine if 8X is suitable. I have a hard time keeping a light 10X32 steady (especially with the 3.2mm exit pupil, ones eyes have to be specifically aligned to get the full FOV). I much prefer 10X42 with the added weight for stabilization. The FOV of the 8X32...
