Hunting-Washington.com and Zen-Ray Optics are pleased to announce Zen-Ray Binoculars Test Drive. Please read the following simple rules before you sign up.
General Expectation
1. We want you to use the product as if it is your own property and a comparison with other optics you own is greatly appreciated.
2. Once you are done with review, please send it to the next person in line insured.
Other details
1. Active members with minimal of 200 posts or more are eligible to participate.
2. To keep the product rotating through all the members, please limit the item in your hand for less than 10 days.
3. Once you are done, please send the package to the next person insured.
4. Please PM me with your shipping address if you want to sign-up for product test drive (Your address will be used only for shipping the demo product to you. We will not share the personal information with any third party, nor would we send any commercial email to you)
5. For each product, we will enlist 8-10 members to test drive the product. First come, first served.
6. We will send out 2-3 pairs out so we can have multiple parallel threads going. This way, we will try to get everyone in the program to lay their hands on the product within 30 days.
The first product available is 8x42 or 10x42 VISTA. Total of 8-10 test drive spots available. We expect to ship the product to the first person in line on Wednesday (9/24).
Ok, time to sign-up. In the PM, please let me know which magnification power you would prefer. I know Andrew, DeKuma and Bucklucky are ready.

I would like to try a set starting about Nov 1st(ok maybe a day or so before I head to the woods on Nov 1st). I have a special late tag and will be non stop action from Nov 1 thru the 18th. then about a week of non stop photopgraphy action. I will put them through the extremes. If I can somehow work that out in a rotation, I would love to try them. I tend to use 10x50s or 10x42s, whatever they come in. If it works out, let me know.
Thanks

Look forward to evaluating and comparing the 8x42 VISTA to a set of Vortex Diamondback 8x42 I have on hand. Will break out my tripod and stack the binoculars at various times of the day in field conditions to get a true representation as possible between the two binox.

The response has been awesome from fellow members. To accomodate all the requests, we will send out 2 pairs of 8x42 VISTA and one pair of 10x42 VISTA so we have 3 parallel threads going on.
As of now, I have
one spot
for 10x42 and
two more spots
for 8x42. Apparently, after Sage's response, I will update again what's available again.
Since some early birds have already picked a preferred date, the rest of the slots will have to be flexible in term of the schedule.
Again, thanks a lot for the support.

Just curious, what does the Vista compare to, in price, and ocular quality?
Luppy, Leica, Swaro, Nikon ?
