First, any comments in the Tract 10x50?

Second, how does the Maven B-2, I suppose the 9x45 or 11x45 compare to the Tract?

Third, any rumors of a Tract RF bino?

I have 10x42 and 12.5x50 Tract UHDs. I like them both a lot. With free returns, I think it is worth it to order them, and see what your eyes tell you. For me, they are both excellent. I use them daily looking at birds and wildlife. The 10x42s are quite a bit shorter and lighter. You can find their dimensions online to look at the actual differences are, and what the 10x50s would be as well. The 12.5x50s barely fit in my binocular chest pack, so height be a consideration for you depending on how you plan to carry them.

I did have a slight problem with the eyepiece on the 12.5x50s. I felt like it lost it's setting and wanted to close too easily with my face pressed against it. Tract fixed it quickly with great support.

Tract is direct to consumer, so you won't find them in a store to try. But, that also means you aren't paying store markup.
