Telescope Reviews: Re: Bino help...

Tom T,

I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that you cannot have "flat field" and "good edge performance" AND a wide field of view. It's a compromise either way and from your previous comments it sounds to me that you are keener to have the former than the latter.

Although I do not particularly like them myself , Pentax DCF HR is a line that seems to get very good reviews for it's edge performance.

You get waterproofing , nitrogen purging , phase -correction and very good optics ( and a narrow TFOV ) with these for less than $300.

The 8 x 42 would me MY choice for "hand -held".

Others would prefer the 10 x 42 of course.

Check the specs out below , and good luck - Kenny.
