I have a set of nice binoc's (Celestron 10x40) that I've had for years and love'em, however the rubber eye cups are dry-rotting and brittle. My question is has anyone here ever found any replacements cups or parts anywhere for ANY brand, anywhere? have tried the manufacturer and their customer service is "zero", even e-mails there's no response. Any suggestions, don't want to trash a excellant high dollar binoc's just because of the eye cups going bad. Any help is appreciated. 0 -
Pems,
I am unable to answer your questions but Guns and Glass is the expert
on optics. 1010 -
Guns & Glass where you at? need some info. Thanks[:(] 0 -
Away at two shows, tired.
Seven true colors. Three primary; red, blue, and green.
Predator limits some blue, and green colors which enhances red.
Brown has red as a primary color, henceforth anything with red is easier to see.
If you want true color not the best choice, which is why Predator is a 'hunting' binoc.
That model is better than Leupolds Windriver.
Personally like/use the Baush & Lomb Elite models. About equal to many Euro binocs, but at 25-30% less. Have the new Zeiss models which are technically the most advanced in glass development, but will use the B&L more.

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. 0 -
I've owned the predator series for the last few years and have loved them. They are perfect for hunting. They are a great size and weight, so they don't weigh you down. For the price you really get some good optics. Now compared to Zeiss and Swarvorski they aren't nearly as good but your also going way up in price. Never used them except for hunting, so no help on the football games. 0 -
I have Leica binocs and a friend has the Pentax DCF WP binocs. They are about the same except the price and weight. Leica is heavier. If I were to get another pair of binocs it would be the Pentax in this model. Great for the price. I still love my Leicas but for the money Pentax is the way to go.

i am not an expert as far as light transmission, specs ect. goes , but I did confer with one on purchasing the perfect binocular about 3 years ago. He told me that at one time the european glass was the best of the best , but now-a -days that was no longer the rule with all the multi coatings and phase coatings available with modern technology and the playing field has equaled out to various degrees of excellence...he advised me to look through several different pairs of binolars and which ever looked the best to ME to purchase ! he told me his personal choice as a starting point would be nikon superior e's (which I have never tried )....since that time, I have owned over 30 pair in my search for the perfect binocular...among those I have owned zeiss, swarovski, docter, leica , leupold, steiner, pentax , nikon, fujinon, B&L, optolyth and countless others...I keep 2 pair on hand at all times and purchase a third pair in the hopes of upgrading my existing 2...right now, the 3 that I have are fujinon 7x30's, pentax 8x32 (wp pc )and steiner 12x28 rockies...the steiners are the ones that will go away...on my "wish i had it back list" the older leupold porro prism models ( pre windriver, with the exception of the 10x40 armoured no longer being offered)with the individual focus are VERY hard to beat..have had 7x30, 9x35 and 10x40 models and mistakenly sold them before looking through my potential new purchases...good luck and remember if YOU look through them and they are the best you have ever used THEN THEY ARE !! Doesnt matter if they cost you $15 at a pawn shop or $1500 online! 0
