Ich möchte hier noch ergänzen: Interessant ist auch das 8x42 Meopro Air, da es ein riesiges Sehfeld hat und deutlich mehr Tiefenschärfe, man muss nicht ständig zwischen mehreren Objekten unterschiedlicher Entfernung hin und her stellen! Und es läßt sich entspannter Beobachten, da es leichter ruhig zu halten geht! Best regards, Rainer

My Meopro Air has very poor edge to edge clarity. Center field is great. Pretty bad for paying 1000 bucks. My Lecia Trinovid is much better in that respect. And I know it may be hard to believe but my Vortex Dimondback 10x42 even has better edge to edge clarity than the Air.

😂 Nice joke. I have a Vortex Diamondback - it loses in every single aspect to the Meopro Air. Way more false color, cheap eye cups that are uncomfy, way less sharp edges - the Meopro Air has field flatteners, the Vortex DB doesn't. Really no comparison. I'd say even the 250€ for the Vortex are too expensive considering the performance. A 60€ Opticron Adventurer T WP will be optically about as good as the Vortex. So either your bino is defective or you're joking.

Just bought one in 8x42 as it was on sale for 480€ new on German eBay. Focuser is very smooth, field of view is large - I think it's perfect for birding as that's what I bought it for. The 10x42 might be a better choice however. The eye relief on the 8x42 is almost too long. Works great for glass wearers though, like myself.

I don't like mine, it is relativly poor in low light, Vortex Dimondback much better in this respect do to i believe better contrast in the Diamondback. The Vortex when viewing a light blue sky has the same color as the naked eye sees, on the other hand the Meopta Meopro Air shows a yellow tint to the blue sky ( exactly what this means I dont know). I would not recomend the Meopta at 1000 bucks, maybe at 500. The Vortex and the Meopta are both hurting for about a milometer or two of eye relief, ok for a 250 dollar binoc but not a 1000. The vortex eye cups are better but the meopta focus wheel is better. Both in 10x42. Without any lense caps Vortex =21.5 oz Meopta Air=28.5 oz on my scales. Resolution in good light is very slightly better only, favoring the Meopta. Edge to edge is a little better in Meopta but still no problem in the Vortex. Field of view a little better favoring the Meopta. I would like to say that Im not crazy about the Diamondback 10x 32mm model. Received new the Meopta Air 2 days ago. My 2 cents. Update: further testing favors the Meopta Air. The more I use the Meopta the more I like it. The thing is, there doesn't seem to be much better in the 1000.00 price catagory. The culmination is perfect in my Meopta Air and this really helps to get perfect focus quickly. No eye strain at all in the Meopta ( almost none in the Diamondback) by my eyes. And it really isnt bad in low light, just that the cheap diamond back is very good here.

Ya meopta used to make the amazing zeiss diascopes which are still as good as it gets. They also made the older leica televid spotting scopes....the zeiss ones are better but still top 3 at the time. Meopta made zeiss conquest scopes for a while. I believe the v4s and some other zeiis conquest 4.5-14s or something. You will notice meopta has many of the same magnification scopes as zeiss but just without side parallax or illumination. That was part of the contract in building stuff for zeiss they weren't literally allowed to make their own brand scope or sporting scopes as good by contract. Now meopta released their own spotting scope the s2 and it kicks ass. Blows swaro away. Zeiss is still king in brightness but in resolution meopta is just as good with more contrast. That's a 70x scope or an amazing 30-60 wide angle eyepiece with an amazing constant 66 degree afov. Meopta rocks. More rugged than modern zeiss conquests or victories from what I have seen too. Metal internals while zeiss and swaro use plastic. Leica scopes at least are metal internals but meopta is half the price

@Mr48374837 Yes sir Focus wheel is One of the few major negatives on this binocular also could be a bit brighter but still not too bad I think where it does best is pulling contrast and definition another takeaway is the color tones aren't as ultra vivid as zeiss but on the other hand it doesn't look artificial..different eyes will have different opinions on this product I also recommend trying zeiss conquest hd just to get a feel for other options at this price point and if you have a few extra bucks try something with abbe Konig prizm while I don't recommend razor hd the razor uhd by vortex ant a bad choice
