    Sig Sauer Zulu6

    Eye placement will be more difficult because of the smaller exit pupil. It's already difficult on the 16x for my eyes.

    Sig Sauer Zulu6

    The 12x and 16x have the same FOV, but the AFOV is larger in the 16x because of the increased magnification.

    sig sauer zulu 6 HDX vs swaro nl pure 12x42

    No way contend with Conquest HD, unless I have a bad sample of the HDX, which is possible, or maybe I am more of an optics snob than some others who keep praising the HDX. Don't get me wrong, the HDX is great for its purpose, I plan to keep mine as I do find it useful for its niche. However...

    First good spotter?

    I have a Tract Toric 80mm, it's great. They just released a 65mm version. May be worth looking into.

    Sold Swarovski SLC 8x42

    Mint like new condition. Purchased this year in July, I'm the original owner. Light use birding, never took hunting. I know of only 1 store that still has one or two SLC 8x42 new for sale selling for $1799 plus tax and shipping. Mine is a great sample without the sticking focuser like some...

    Kowa TSN 88 spotter vs Meopta S2 82, which would you buy and why. Thanks for the input.

    "Should" i agree, but the guy saying his brother said kowa was much better said himself he didn't know which meopta. Some people think the brand is all that matters and literally don't realize different models have major differences.

    ONE OPTIC TO RULE THEM ALL

    Maybe free of CA looking at the moon, but... I also have the HDX and I can confirm they are not free of CA in daytime use under certain lighting conditions. Better control in center of image, but imo poor control outside of center, at least in my sample.

    Kowa TSN 88 spotter vs Meopta S2 82, which would you buy and why. Thanks for the input.

    One can't just say Meopta scope without clarifying the Meopro or Meostar. They are 2 completely different animals.

    <$350 Binos

    I'd check out Kowa BDII XD 10x42. A little over your price but well worth it imo. Very good glass for the money.

    Bump $150 PayPal F&F. OK with G&S if buyer pays fees. I'll cover shipping and insurance. I'm fairly new here, but have been active on BirdForum for years and sold there in the past. User name w.travis there too. Have an SLC 8x42 listed in the classifieds there. Thanks

    That's true. What specific optical improvements do you notice with the swaro eye piece?

    Habitat Improvement Feedback

    Nice looking plot. Habit improvement/management is a process. Worth the effort and time, but patience is a must. I'd focus on native food sources for all seasons and cover.

    Spotting Scopes

    There are some good deals on the Gen 1 Vortex Razor out there right now. Can't beat their warranty and customer service.

    SIG SAUER ZULU6 HDX 20x42mm vs 16x42mm buying decision

    Which Razors? HD or UHD? what magnification and objective size? I have the 16x HDX. I find the optical quality close to but slightly below Viper 12x50.

    Vortex Triumph HD 10x42 Binocular Review ***Updated 10/16/23***

    Good review, was surprised he felt it performed better optically than the Raptor. Good to know there is a roof prism option to compete with the $100 porros like raptor, Leopold Yosemite, and the Kowa YFII. I have the Kowa YFII 6x30 and 8x30. I feel they are both optically very good much...

    Sig Image-Stab Binos and the Podcast Hype Train

    Not really, the HDX is compact and light only around 20oz. The Canon IS are larger and heavier. I have the HDX 16x42 (newest version in FDE) I would agree with others who mentioned premium glass on a tripod will give you a better image. But without a tripod, the IS really is pretty good...

    Swarovski EL vs Leica Noctivid

    Why not Swarovski SLC, definitely no rolling ball there. Not an open bridge though as in both EL and Nocs
