Zhumell 25x100 - Orion Giant View 25x100 the same?
      #3038556 - 04/11/09 06:22 PM

Hi all,

Are the Zhumell 25x100 and Orion Giant View 25x100 the same binoculars? Can anyone confirm this?

Thank You!

Well, by all outward appearances they seem to be the same, along with those of several other well known companies. And although many will make statements that they are or are not, no one here can tell you for sure that they are the same. Read this to understand why.

If They Look the Same, What Could be Different?

Thanks EdZ. I guess it's very possible that certain components inside could be different after all. Such as coatings or no coatings for that matter.

I currently have Pro Optics 11x70 that are nice, as well as a couple of Canon IS binos. Looking to add a 100mm size to my collection.
