Have a handful of binos, but only one that allows me to freely and comfortably scan the skies at 20x magnification:

some of my binos, each one brings something different to the viewing experience, but as Phil Harrington likes to say: two eyes are better than one.

Goodness, never thought I would get to see so many binoculars individually owned. Amazed at the collections of some like Steve, Jim, Philip, Toni. Wonder how those views through Toni's ED compares to Refractors?

First time I had all my binoculars together in one picture. Sneaky little devils must have procreated while I was not looking.

You won't see this one in any store display case (more pics in my Gallery, linked to in my Signature below)...

In this configuration, it's a 20.8X60, with a 4.7 degree FOV (due to 13mm Ethos eyepieces having 100 deg. AFoV).

Still refusing to produce these commercially? How selfish of you!

Amazing looking binoculars. I can't even imagine how the views would be through those. Wish I had one.

Would the adage, "It's not the number of binoculars you own, but the one's you use" apply here.
