John O Report post Posted May 21, 2012 Keep hearing good things about Zen Ray optics. Did a little research, and am a little skeptical because they are made in China. Still I have read a lot of good reviews. Interested in particular in the ED3 8X43. Anyone have any experience with these, or similar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AverageJoe Report post Posted May 21, 2012 I use the 10x43 as my pack around binos. They sit in the truck a lot as my quick go to binos. They are pretty good glass for the money. I have had mine for 4 years now and they still work fine. The glass is as clear as my vortex kaibabs. The eyecups leave something to be desired. Overall i would say get them if you are interested. You wont be dissapointed. I would rate them 8 out of 10. 10 out of 10 being leica ultravids, 7 out of 10 being nikon monarchs,etc. slightly brighter than nikons but not as durable. The company has been good to me as well. Quick response with any questions i have ever had. Although i havent talked with them in a few years. If you want to look through them, they are pretty beat up but the glass is still good. Let me know and i can meet you somewhere to look through them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
