New 8" and 12" JMI Binoscopes..

Not much info out yet , but looks like they have gone to individually rotating top ends for interocular adjustment - about time .

Good to see an OEM with a developing track record in on going innovation of commercial Newt binoculars .

These new models look leaner and cleaner and more portable than the RBT series.

I'm waiting for someone to take the plunge and buy one of these things so I can read some reviews The 12" looks relatively compact for a binoscope.

I would choose the 8" pair myself - they would get used a lot more often.
