GPO Passion HD 15x50 thoughts?

Right off the bat I am impressed. Nice color and definition edge to edge compared to other 15s I have looked through. Looking forward to checking them out in lower light situations.

Let us know your thoughts when you recieve them. I am liking mine.

10oz lighter than most everything else in the same category (SLCs, b5s, meoptas, UHD 18s) makes them intriguing

So far, I am impressed enough. I really like the lighter weight and the smaller form factor. Due to projects around the house, I haven't taken the opportunity to really "wring them out" on a true mountain side or ridge yet. Aside from my initial comparisons anyway.

I did go out in the Great Salt Lake Marsh and look at waterfowl with them. They performed great. But I look forward to getting away next weekend and really putting them to the test in the mountains.

That’s why I jumped on a pair that is in transit right now. I decided to give them a try after looking through some other GPO binos.

I will let you know.

Hope you like them.

I am excited to learn that I drew a muzzleloader Mule Deer tag for an area I haven't hunted in for this fall. Means I will need to plan to spend many weekends in the mountains getting to know my new area and try to find the diamonds in the rough. My GPOs and other optics will get a good workout this year.

I’ll give it a good try. I’ve used a lot, from Vortex 18x Kaibab to Swaro 14 NL pure. Hard to say without direct comparison, but whenever I go to less than Alpha glass I can feel it in my bones, lol.

You can either see into the shadows and make out individual branches or you can’t. I am curious about literal first and last light, cause that is where we make our money in AZ…

I picked up one of those Sky Rover Banner Cloud 12x50 binos recently. They remind me of my ELs. Wide FOV and clear to the edge. Excited to put some time behind them. But never owning an NL, makes it easier for me to think my ELs are good enough.
