I love my older Swarovski 10 x 42 ELs Perfect for Bright sunny African conditions 52 mm objective is brighter but not needed in Africa (Over Kill Price Weight) but is better suited to Dark Forests in Say Germany and Washington USA and Oregon etc. NLS are the best for sure but at my age I'll stick with EL 10x42 with my 74 yr old Eyes.. great video with Great info

Thanks for checking it out. Yes, I'm based in the US, so the 52's are wonderful.

Interesting comparison, way out of my price range. I'm curious to know if you use nightvison binoculars or have a review. 😊

@tv510 2 ай бұрын

I have not used night vision as of yet. On another note, it looks like I will be posting another binocular video in October. This time will be on much less expensive versions. Stay tuned.

I have a great bino collection , Leica zeiss and swaro NL pures.While NL pure are great in microcontrast , the zeiss sf beats them on colorfringes and more important flare resistance!Moreover , when getting older the maximum pupil widt h is capped at about 4mm , which makes bigger binos like 10X50 hard to justify if you’re above 50 of age

Thanks Marleen, I haven’t had any issues with them. So far, I love them.

The field of view plot is a bit misleading, as the origin is not at zero. I have the Leica Noctivid 10x42 (very high quality), Leica Ultravids HD 8x32 (lighter), and have been looking at the high end Zeiss and Swarovski binos. The 10x52 Swarovskis sound interesting.

You can also use simple math..calculate the exit pupil size….divide the objective size by the magnification size…your eyes dilate to about 5 mm. So a 5 mm exit hole is perfect for low light and it’s the most your eyes can perceive.

Thanks, I was going for a more visual explanation. Thanks for watching.

True but the Zeiss BGAT binos of 7x42 and 8x58 have ratios of 6 and 7.25 and are regarded as among the very best low light binos. I have the 7x42 and they are exceptionally bright at dawn and dusk

@tv510 3 ай бұрын

@@mjsmith8741 Good info. I would bet that they are great in low light. I think it's the 10X power compared to the 6 and 7.25 - comparative those objective lenses would be larger than the 52mm on the 10 power Binos.

@guermeisterdoodlebug7980 3 ай бұрын

Nice video with good information. For me, comparative field of view is not very important since all have as much or more than I need as I am almost always looking at a specific objects almost never a few hundred feet wide.

@tv510 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching, I think I am more like you, but there are a lot of people that want to look at the expanse and check for movement. So, to them, the FOV is pretty important.

I am not sure how far behind a brand like Nikon would be who has been making professional photography equipment for over 60 years. Has there ever been a side by side comparison to analyse their optics?

@tv510 2 ай бұрын

While I use Nikon with most of my photography lenses, I have not worked with Nikon Binoculars for quite some time. Good idea. Thanks.

My local Cabelas carries several Swarovski binoculars and I was interested in their 10X50 EL. It was priced at $2500 on sale and compared them to a Steiner Military Marine 10X50 for $750 and a Fujinon FMTR 10X50 for $800. Instantly, the Steiner's were by far the worst. Actually the Steiners were the worst binoculars I had ever looked through costing over $500. The Fujinon was better than the Swarowski with better color correction and less chromatic abberation around the edges. The image on the Fujinon was just very very slightly dimmer than the Swarovski but the Fujinon superior color correction and at three times less money, it was a no brainer to buy them. The biggest problem with Swarovski is that people only see a name and not the image they are viewing.

Thanks for the breakdown. I love the NL Pure 10 x 50 but they are very expensive.

My experience echoes yours. I had a pair of Steiner Military Marine 7x50 and Orion Resolux 7x50 (which are a chinese $250 copy of the Fujinon FMTR 7x50) and the Orions shocked me with their color and resolution for the money. The Steiner was underwhelming in terms of color and brightness. They do make good ones, check out their new open bridge commander 7x50. I had one for a few weeks and loved every second with them.

@@sundin5646 Would you say that the open bridge commander would offer a better viewing experience than the Fuji FMTR 7x50 I just bought? The fujis are excellent but I would be willing to get the new steiner commanders as well if you think they are worth the extra cash. I had also bought a Steiner Navigator open bridge on Amazon and had to send those back because the left side image on those was blurry from the center up to the top but razor sharp from the center down.

@@sundin5646 I just received my open bridge commander 7 X50 the other day and I'll be sending them back. There are several huge issues that should not be present on any binocular costing this much. Firstly, the chromatic abberation is pretty bad. I'm getting greenish yellow tints on the left side of an object and bluish purple on the right side. Also, there is some pin cushion distortion in the view towards the edges. Finally the locking memory focus setting are really cheap plasticy feeling unbefitting a $1500 binocular. They are compact and lighter plus they offer a very sharp image however they are actually worse than my Fujinon FMTR costing $700.

Very small percentage of the public would be willing to spend 3K+ on a set of binoculars.

The nikon monarch 7 is greatly under rated and over performs. Quality glass, and a field of view at 8.3 degrees, resulting in 436 foot field of view at 1000 yards.

Have you ever looked through Kowa TSN Prominar 99 spotting scope???

No I have not. Under the right conditions a spotting scope is a great tool. But if I'm driving around and see some movement, the thought of setting up a tripod and scope seems time consuming. Do you use them?
