SHORT REVIEWS POSTED HERE IN THE BINOCULAR FORUM
(the count shown in the title of this post includes only these reviews below)
Light Trap's beginning binocular suggestions added 8-2-04
Mike Swaim's well organized presentation of suggested binoculars, recommending various binoculars for specified use or price ranges. Short reviews within product lines. Mike touches on over 30 different small binoculars in this very worth-while post, half of them cost between $100 and $200, and many of them, such as Carton Alderblick, Fujinon BFL, Orion Savanah, and the Wind River Mesa are seldom found elsewhere here in our minireviews.
Orion Savannah 10x50 compared to Pentax PCF WP 10x50 and Nikon AE 10x50 added 7-12-05
Barry Simon's noteworthy review here gives us comparative data on some very good choices in 10x50s, one of the most popular hand held sizes. Barry also includes references to Leupold Wind River and describes similarities to the Orion Savannah.
