Marcus does small batch buys with very high QA/ QC standards which are much better than standard mass produced.

However, if you considering spending $1,000 on 100mm binos, I would spend a bit more and get

Not buying them. I was just curious. Yeah, my next binoculars will be 100mm 90 degree.Bigzmey wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 8:20 pm There are some differences in dimensions and weight. So not clones. I had good experience with binos from both brands, but I would go with APM. As Gabby says better QA/QC.

I think about those 90 degree 100mm all the time. However, my next chunk of play money will go to buying scuba diving gear. There is some great scuba diving just six hours drive from me. I just do not want to rent the lousy gear anymore.Lady Fraktor wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 8:31 pm A friend has the ones that Bigzmey has linked to, excellent views with them.
