Hello Group , Happy New Year to all ! I am looking for information on the 2.3 x 40 Russian bino's sold in the U.S.A. in the late 90's . I know there galilean...
Several years ago I had the opportunity to view the night sky thru 2.3x40 opera glasses. IIRC, the FOV was 20-25°. Very large exit pupil, but short eye...
Hello Stephen , Fantastic , Your information is just what I need. I'll try to e-mail Pete and see what kind of info.he can provide . Thank you very much ,...
Keep in mind a 2.3x40, even if the finest in the world, while great for extreme widest fov, is still only a 2.3 x 16 to 17mm when put up to your eyes, for the...
I got one of these at the WSP about 10 years ago. Edz is correct, of course, that your eyes cannot possibly use 40mm of aperture with only 2.3X. But still,...
Hello, ... great for extreme widest fov, is still only a 2.3 x 16 to 17mm when put up to your eyes, for the effective aperture cannot be any greater than the...

Hi, All- Recently discovered through communications with Barry, that this group existed- and I when I checked, I had signed up for membership, but had turned...
Another vendor told me that Blue Planet had these. I called Ted at Blue Planet when I was looking around for an AT 66 last year. Ted said they had come in and...

Hello , ... Hi Ed , Thanks for the input . I find the optical drawing revealing in that it shows the optical system does not have large amounts of elements but...
Hi, please tell me which one of the following binoculars is a better choice for astronomy, considering optics and performance. Zhumell 20x80 SuperGiant...
Zhumell is better. 20x80 for 69 shipped. The offer was changed to 79 , with 5 dollar as shipping some time back Celestron 15x70 is for 85 or so and you see...
I received two of the 20x80 Zhumell before Christmas from binoculars.com . They were both out of collimation and I sent them back. However, my Celestron 15x70...
I am not sure of the weight of the 20X80s but with the light weight AND lower magnification the 15X70s can be hand held more easily if this is important. Terry...
I was impressed sufficiently with the positive spin on low power binos - showing twice as many stars yet still retaining large real FOV's - in Sky & Telescope...
