... The rubber armored binoculars sold by Orion, Garrett, Oberwerk and AstroPhysics in the $300 to $400 range for 15x70's are a good binocular when you just...
The premium bino's Barry spoke of are the Orion Resolux, Garrett Signatures, and Oberwerk Ultra's. They are, indeed one of the best lower-cost options to ...
The Oberwerk Ultra 15x70. http://www.cloudynights.com/documents/OberwerkULTRA1570.pdf most (if not all) of the 20x80s that I've tested have lower build quality...
Edward, In your testing, do you find the Garrett 15x70 Signature binoculars to be of the same level of quality as the Obie Ultra 15x70? Thank you, Pete ... ...
I stand by my Tasco ultra lightweight extra-wide angle binocs I purchased in 1972. Magnesium body and great optics....thanks ... From: superstring_zen To:...
Well, answer is still the same. If you were intending to use the Fujinon for terrestrial use than the Oberwerk Ultra would serve the same purpose. So, they...
Very interesting to read Ed Zarenski's reiteration of what he has reported previously, which is that due mainly to undersized prisms, really all of the ...
I would think a lot of that comes from the desire to cut off the edge of the lens. We often did that in the shop. THE worst part of a lens to figure (the...
Hi Alan! Wonderful to meet you on this forum! Seems like we have a few things in common! I also found what Ed Z said to be very interesting. Here we are ...
At any rate, note the better binoculars do not have reduced aperture, as in recent discussion, the Fujinon 16x70 and the Oberwerk Ultra 15x70. And these...
Thank you so much Ed! I'm not sure if the Fuji 10x70FMT-SX get as high marks as the Fuji 16x70's, but I sure LOVE mine! I keep trying to stay away from those...
Re - the 10x70 Fujinon FMT-SX, they very likely may test better than the 16x70's. They have the following advantages - better eye relief than the 16x70's...

I also prefer to hand hold my binos and use either my 10x50 or my 10x70's. The 10x70 Fujis are a bit heavy, but I can hand hold them with no problem....
Hi Barry, I can absolutely see where there is overlap in having the 10x70 and the 16x70 although at times, the thought of having them both is VERY tempting. I...
