Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Smaller-size bino query

I gave up SLCs for the Meostar

I bought a pair of Leupold wind river optic about 20 years ago and have been using them all this time. A good friend just purchased a pair of Zeiss Terra ED for half the $ and they're really good I think he said he paid 330.00.

Good luck and shoot straight y'all

I've bought an 8x33 Kowa Genesis from a great deal Doug often makes with campfire members. First, let me say my vision is only 20/25 and I'm aware everyone's eyes can prefer different binos, but mine have been preferring the Zeiss Conquest HD over a pair of Cabelas Euro Instinct (made by Meopta), and even over viewing through some of my friend's alpha binos.

Been playing around with them focusing on some distant pine trees etc. I'm finding compared to the Conquest HD, the view through Genesis is bright and the focus remains sharp through a deeper focal depth, which makes it seem more 3D. They are fun to look through, but I can't really detect more resolution than the Conquest HD (which my eyes really like), other than that the Genesis is preferable in all other ways. It will be with me during hunting season!
