I am very particular about cleaning my lenses. First, I never touch them with my hands if I can help it. Second, I use keyboard air cannisters (lower pressure than compressed air which could shoot something into the lenses) to clear off any dust or debris. If you have something stubborn like...
I prefer PhoneSkope for my digiscoping. The alignment is perfect and is quick to setup. I had a Novagrade. It was an excellently made product. However, I felt like I was always adjusting the phone to get a perfect picture and the one major thing I did not care for was the hole from the...
10x32's have a very small exit pupil so they will not be as great for being as bright as a bigger objective with more exit pupil. I would try and compare the SF's to the Swaro 50mm's as the they are around the same size and your exit pupil will be close at a 8x42 vs a 10x50. I was unable to...
I compared the 10x42 SF's with the Swarovski EL's many times before deciding on the Swaros. The optical quality is amazing and the balance and handling is excellent. The only fault I could find for me in particular was the greenish color tint I perceived while looking at a white background and...
Always leave it on and put covers on the lenses when not in use. I use compressed air keyboard cleaner cans to remove dust without touching the lenses.
Depends on your budget. Nikon Monarch 7 8x30's are nice but the eyebox is tight. The views and FOV are great and they weigh ~16oz. For the high end nothing beats the Swaro EL 8x32's--IMO the best binoculars for size, weight, & performance. I would recommend 8's for archery with the...
Hi,
I have an as new Novagrade Digiscoping Adapter with optional dual clamps and all included eyepiece adapters. This can be used on any phone and all different types of spotting scopes, binoculars, and other eyepiece optics. Bought new for my wife in Dec 2019 from BH photo but she never used...
I have both and I prefer the 8x32's most of the time now as they are much lighter and handier. They are also so much easier to hold steady than the 10's for 3D shooting, one hand holds, and mountain panning. However, I have an outdoorsmans stud on the EL10x42 and on the tripod, the 10x42 comes...
I bet your eyes couldn't tell the difference between the two. The 32's will be lighter and handier but the eye box will not be as big as the exit pupil is 3.2 on the 32mm vs 4.2 for the 42mm. I have a pair of 8x32 and 10x42 EL's and have a very hard time telling them apart visually besides the...
The outdoorsmans stuff is pricey but the stud is a great addition to the Swaro EL's. and works great. It is a permanent piece that is fully warrantied by Swarovski. It takes so long as they transport the binos from fountain hills, AZ to Payson, AZ once per week as that is where their machine...
