Charles, what power do you recommend for birding?
sorry for the late reply. Have been away for a few days.
I would recommend 8x42 for general birding use. It has wider FOV and more stable image when holding the binoculars in your hands.

I did ordered the Prime 10-42 just now. I be putting them to the test, and if they meet expectations I may sell them in my Pro Shop. I've been looking for a long time and was so close to pull the trigger on a pair of home made Swarovski, just a little bit to spendy for my use. Hope I like them!

Nope, I tired and tried and they say they give a crap that we were neighbors, :chuckle: :chuckle: Through fam at home it was not any cheaper to buy them than here :dunno: If I buy them I want the EL 10x42 and the least expensive I found was $2800.

When I ordered my PRIME it said on the Website ships within 1-2 business days. So I opted to pay for 2 day delivery. Hhmmm :( :dunno: They have shipped Primes before so I thought great I will get mine soon, NOT. :(I think what they have shipped before was the limited numbers first production run. As far as I know the next bigger production run will ship on July 5, provided the July 4 Holiday doesn't slow arrival from the factory.
I have a final beta specimen of the Prime 10x42. It's gonna be worth the wait I think. Razor sharp with as nice a focus action as any binocular I have used. Built like a tank too.

I sure hope, I thought they had them and were ready to be shipped, I guess I was wrong. I ordered the 10x42 Prime, gutsy, because I never held one, seen one and after three weeks of researching I decided to go with Zen-Ray. :dunno:
