Anybody used Maven Optics?

[geetar]

I am looking to buy some new binos and was wondering if anyone had used Maven? I like the idea of supporting a company that sells direct to the consumer. If not what else do you recommend. Look for a 10x42 bino so feel free to drop recommendations if you have them.

They have some good products, if you're looking at the B series, the 9x45 is more impressive than the 10x42

I used a pair of B1 10x42 binocs at work for a couple years and they are very good glass. I would say well worth the money.

Right now I’m just kind looking at all of them to see which would suit my needs best. Thanks for the info

Would you put the 11x45 with the the 10's under the 9x45s or are they also superior to the 42mm pairs?

Several friends do and all are more than impressed. Excellent glass, quality construction and a nice price point backed by excellent customer service if you need it. My next optics purchase will be a pair of their 18s.

The 11’s are an impressive binocular too. Better than the 10x42 but behind the 9x45. That configuration with the Abbe Koenig prism is really a damn nice binocular.

I love my 11’s

I have a pair of B1s and a pair of C1s - both unbeatable at their respective price points in my opinion.

That was what my eyes told me as well. I really liked the 11x45's but head to head the 9's were better, tried them several times and came to the same result. I just shake too much for 11's. I preferred the B series.

I have C1 10x42 I really like. That is the most I have spent on bino’s, so I can’t compare to much.

They are on par with GPO. I would still stick with Leupold or Meopta though.

Which Leupold do you use and recommend?

 

[schmalts]

I would stick to the BX4 orBX5 models. I have a few models on sale, PM me

One of my clients who happens to be a Nat Geo photographer loaned me a pair of C1 10x42's last season. I had to buy a pair because I definitely didn't want to be without them this season.
