Crazy:

Good of you to point out that review. I have followed the Porters reviews, and for some
here you have to remember that they also sell binoculars. In typical lock-step fashion they
have the 3 alphas 1-2-3, otherwise the company reps. would soon come calling.

I agree with some of the findings, but as with many users of these optics, some of their
point scoring emphasis, is a bit off. As in too much scoring on FOV, and when watching
their viewing setup through windows, I do wonder.

And for porro lovers here, I am thinking the Nikon SE or E2, would place very high compared to any of these.

This review is just a nice comparison, and personal preference does enter in.

Curious, too, that their perennial favorites, the Vipers and Furies, are now on closeout. Nice to finally see Zen and Hawke in a commercial bino review.
