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

    I've had both scopes (actually still have the S2) and agree with the above 100%. Also: There seems to be some sample variability in the 883s where some are at little less sharp at 55-60x. Really haven't heard any reports of a bad S2. The S2 focuses fairly fast, it can be a little difficult...

    Kowa 66A Review

    Just received a 66A. My initial impressions when comparing it to an ATX 85 are about the same as those in this review. 66A is every bit as sharp as the 85ATX and seems to have a touch more clarity and contrast. Would like to see the 77 series reissued with the fluorite objective. Lenscoat...

    Zeiss SFL 8x30 Review— a compact with full size performance?

    I wear glasses and use both the 8x32NLs and 8x30 SFLs with the eyecups at the first stop out. The main advantage of the 32NLs over the 30SFLs is the FOV. The main advantage of the SFLs is they are noticeably less susceptible to glare when the sun is at an acute angle. The SFLs seem to have...

    Zeiss SFL 8x30 Review— a compact with full size performance?

    If these are anything like the 8x40SFLs they're 95% of the top of the line bins for half the price. Gonna order a pair ASAP.

    Meopta

    The initial source for the Meopta news has recanted the story. It was a misunderstanding with their source.

    Kowa 88 Update

    Unfortunately it got an updated price. I do like the two threaded sockets for plant mounting. And it's usually nice to have a few oz shaved off. I have a 1.6x extender I was getting ready to sell. Guess I'll wait to see how the reviews are.

    New Zeiss Bino—SFL 10x40–Review

    I'm one of those people. Apparent resolution is a virtually match with my 8x42 NLs and beats my 8x32 NLs. The SFLs seem to have a bit more of a 3D view than the NLs.

    New Zeiss Bino—SFL 10x40–Review

    Just to stir the pot a bit, apparently 8x30 and 10x30 SFLs are coming.

    New Zeiss Bino—SFL 10x40–Review

    LOL. There's good info there, but a few of them are quite uptight and can't stand it when someone has a differing opinion form theirs. And do not mention hunting. Panties will be severely bunched.

    New Zeiss Bino—SFL 10x40–Review

    I've historically used 8x for birding, but have been happy using 10x32 NLs I got earlier this year. They're the first 10x bin I've been satisfied with in field use. Nice FOV for 10x and lightweight. I'd consider the 10x40 SFLs, but their FOV is much less. The NL glare can usually be dealt with...

    New Zeiss Bino—SFL 10x40–Review

    Other than robby's review there's not a lot of review info on the 10x40s. There's a fair amount of love for the 8x40s on Birdforum and I'm in the club. The Swaro NLs scream quality, but the SFLs perform almost as well, significantly cheaper, and are a lighter load on the neck. basically a full...
