Gracias Amigo!


JG I have picked up one pair of binos in my life and said WOW after I looked thru them. That was a pair of Zeiss Victory HTs. Absolutely the best most brilliant optic I had ever seen. After that I just had to have a pair and I got the 10x42 model.

I was able to use a gift certificate and credit card points to get the Zeiss with no out of pocket expense so it was not as painful as having to part with $2300 cash. IF I would have had to dig into the wallet to buy a new pair I would have almost certainly bought a Meopta 10x42HDs. I believe those binos and Meopta optics in general are some of the best values in optics today.

My current pair of Meoptas are the non HD model but they are damn good and I still use them often. They are my back up now that I have the Zeiss Victory Hts. The optics on the Meoptas while not as crisp as the Zeiss HTs are pretty darn good. What I really like about the Meopta is they seem to be built like a tank. Mine have taken a beating and held up perfectly fine.
