If you can live with 13.5mm of eye relief, these are a great wide field 8x glass. 8.8° FOV and very comfortable to look through! Just thought I'd point it out. 8x30 EII Rich V -------------------- Binoculars: 33-150x100 Saturn III, 16x70FMT-SX, 10x50 PCF-V, 10x43 DCF-SP, 10x35 E2, 7x35 E, 8x30 E2, 7x26 Custom, 8x23AS Diplomat, 8x23 Travelite Scopes: C9.25, 6" f8 reflector, SV80S Post Extras:       kray super member Reged: 01/25/05 Posts: 134 Loc: NC, USA Re: UK 8x30 EII on Shop and Swap [Re: Rich V.]       #2602398 - 08/25/08 11:19 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I agree. My most used bino for other than astro. Great close focus capability for a porro design. Very sharp image for the inner 70% of the FOV. Color rendition leaves no complaints from me even compared with my Celestron Regal LX that has recently been highly praised in this forum. -------------------- Ken Celestron Regal LX 8 x 42 roof Orion Expanse 7 x 32 (14 degree) Nikon 10 x 35 E2 Nikon 10 x 50 Action V ( Made in Japan) Oberwerk 15 x 70 GO 25 x 100 IF Bogen 501/3046 Celestron 102 F/5 Wide View Refractor Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 10 registered and 17 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
