New Maven Binoculars B1.2 and B6

[rideold]

Does anyone know how forgiving the B6 is for IPD? I called my eye glasses shop yesterday and they said my IPD is 58.5mm.....Wondering if anyone has tried the B6 that has a similar IPD.

I saw a review on a birders forum saying they go down to only 58.

I'm wondering if the B.6 12x50 would be an upgrade or noticable difference coming from 12x50 Razors. The specs are similar and the Razors are lighter.

There isn't much difference spec wise. Mavens are a little shorter, little wider, little heavier, little more eye relief. Plus $350 more than what I gave for mine and what I would probably get selling them.

I heard back from Maven on the IPD. Their opinion was that with 58.5 IPD on the B6's it would be pretty tight. Not un-doable but they steered me away. Makes sense. Just because the range is there doesn't mean things function great at the extreme end!

Have to say I appreciate their canter and honesty. Many would be worried about the sale more than making sure you got the right bino for your eyes. I appreciate you sharing that.

Thank you to all who have shared info on these, I just got a pair of the 10x50's and can't wait to try them out!
