I also have the SF 8X32 and I am also a big 8X32 fan. We did a test years ago glassing for elk using Nikon SE 8X32 and 10X42 and all three people preferred the 8X.
I have little doubt there is some type of life on some other planets and they may be much smarter than us, however, count the light years to those planets and you’ll find that unless their laws of physics are different than ours it’s more than a Sunday drive.
I compared the Meopta and Swaro 15's and I thought the Swaro's were better and I bought them. I don't think anyone is going to miss anything with the Meoptas and I agree that you would be hard pressed to tell the difference. The Meoptas were definitely the better value but sometimes you just...
I've read a lot about them, mostly on birding forums, and they are very good - but not perfect. Some people have trouble with blackouts, glare, and rolling ball effect, and others have no issues. I think, like any optic, you have to see how it works for you. I have the Zeiss SF 8X32 and at...
I think there are a lot of people who buy them just to try them out or write a review and then if they can't return them they go up for sale. Most of the time they are listed for prices pretty close to what you could buy them for new (with a little negotiating).
I have the SF 8X32 and love them, but it took a bit to adjust them so I wasn't plagued with blackouts. I can now use them comfortably and they are all I need. Roger Vine does an excellent review of the 10X32's and he says they're the best 32mm binoculars he's ever tested, but to put that in...
Me too. I have a pair of SE 8x32's that I bought about 15 years ago and had no receipt. They told me to ship them in and they'd replace the eyecups. Two weeks later they're back in my hands.
I have 6-8 pairs of "backup" binoculars. I also have backup knives and guns. At some point all the backups will have to be reclassified as a "collection".
I had a 1200 yard Leupold that I was not thrilled with, but I bought the 2800 and I AM thrilled. Ranging to 1500 yards is instant and 2000 yards is easily doable. Plus it has DNA
I don't have a chrono so I shot some rounds at 400 & 500 yards then used the drop to backward determine the velocity. Not ideal I suppose, but it worked fine for me. I agree with others that the CDS is not that important. Ultimately I just use the standard MOA dial with a DNA rangefinder.
Has anyone who is directional hearing challenged ever found a solution with hearing aides? I can hear bugles, but have no idea where it is coming from. Hunting solo in dark timber I've been having a very difficult time. It has been really frustrating.
The inability to get direction is usually...
All hearing aids will amplify wind noise. If there's been some technological miracle to eliminate it since I
got out of the business I'm not aware of it. Expect to be annoyed on a windy day.
As a former hearing aid dealer I suggest the behind the ear aids. In most cases they show up LESS than the in-the-ear aids and there are also acoustical advantages. I recently bought mine from Costco, and they have a good program there. The problem is that they are not hearing protection...
I really wonder if the OP is just trolling us and yucking it up when the Bigfoot deniers get all worked up. Seems like a terrible thing to do, but it also seems like something I might do.
Not all DNA supports your theory. You can mark this one as “fake news”.
