I just came back from an extensive binoculars compare/review event together with our own new product preview. We got a chance to look through a pair of Mojave 8x42. Overall impression from everyone is very positive. Good brighness and excellent field curvature control. Open hinge design is well executed. You will like it.

The Mojaves and Pinnacles were within about $15 of each other,the Pinnacles being more. The Pinnacles blew the Mojaves out of the water IMO.

The Pinnacles were brighter,had better color,and had crisper images. I also liked the way the Pinnacles felt in my hand. The hinge on the Mojave didn't feel right to me.

The pinnacles are a 100.00 more dollars.I am a bow hunter so im set on a camo pair wich the pinnacles are only black or sage. I do like the looks of those ZR vistas thou. Why dont they make them in camo......

That's a great input. We had camo body finish for 2008 ZRS(SUMMIT) and found most of the people including many in hunting community preferred in black/green finish. We may re-introduce a camo finish if demand is out there. Everybody's input is greatly appreciated.

I have the cascades 10x42 and love them. I have had them for 2 years now. My dad has had his wind rivers for quite a few years (5+) and he also loves them.
