I have been checking this site out for some time now and really enjoy all of the interesting and usefull info posted here, finally decided to join. Great job guys.....With that said, I need some input on optics. I need to reach out and check out more country "Its Time". My Nikon 10x42 are nice but they are just not cutting it. The 15x56 Swaro's are not in the budget and the Kiababs are too wide and dont fit my narrow face. So whats left? I really like the Viper 15x50 just wondering of anyone has used them in the field? Pros & Cons? ALso has any one used Minox 15x56 binos? Thanks for the help.
Thanks for your $.02. The henge on the Kiababs does not get close enough together to get a complete view. The SLC's fit good and they would be my first choice, just not going to be able to spring for them anytime soon. My main concern on the Vipers is the focus factor and eye fatigue. I have heard of guys having these issues in the past. Also The Vipers have "HD" glass as do the Kiababs, so whats the big difference between the Vipers and the Kiababs components that makes the kiababs twice the cost?
