Post your optics set up, recommend optics to others.
My setup:
> 8x42 Opticron Discovery Binoculars
1.5m close focus range which is great for watch butterflies, also excellent value for money, would recommend highly.
>Belomo x10 Triplet Loupe
Very good hand lens, best one I've owned by far. Excellent for looking at insects.
I have a very cruddy spotting scope currently, if anyone can recommend a good one within the 0-£200 price range I'd appreciate it, am currently poor college fag but I still want to get out and birding.

Generally speaking,, pic related, plus a 50-140mm. If I had the cash I'd like to get their 100-400mm.
I have a pair of binos that I keep in the car, also, but find them redundant when humping a camera too.
I've been closing to buying a monocule a few times tho.

150-600mm
105mm
20mm
Vortex Talon 8x42
Usually not all at once, it's really heavy.

I just got my first pair of binoculars.
40 year old Carl Zeiss Jena 8x30. It's a pretty terrible binocular for /out/ activities since its apparently kinda fragile.
I just can't afford anything new, and it's cool to own something produced in DDR.
I spent an hour watching merchant ships pass through the English channel.

15 dollar ~40x monocular from amazon
60 year old binoculars I forget the name of
Armasight Nyx7c
You haven't seen a night sky if you haven't seen it with 50000x amplification.

If you don't have heightened senses you're a failure of a human being, desu. I don't know why you people even bother living, might as well kill yourselves

you can send these in to Leica to get them cleaned for a small fee. They take them apart and recalibrate the elements along with a thorough cleaning and re-greasing.

Are Maven optics a meme? Seems like a steep price point at $800 for a pair of bino's, especially when you could get a quality pair from Vortex for a quarter of the price.

42mm is the real opening to optics imo. At about 42mm you can start seeing shit with far away lights or the moon.
Personally my go to is a 10x42 bushnell. But i actually sortof want a lower power one, for closer shit in low light.
