Re: Oberwerk 8x56: opinions?

Hi Marco,

I had such a glass - here in Germany the brand ist TS - and I gave it back to the dealer. Main raesons were:

REFLEXES and SHARPNESS

Regarding reflexes it was so bad near moon and Jupiter, always were double images there.

The sharpness is only within the inner 60-70% of the field good.

However, the market of 8x56 glasses ist small, if you want to get an acceptable fov. I know only the Zeiss Victory 8x56, but the price ist around 1.000 Euro. I would agree with Patrick and to buy a smaller one. A good hint is the Minolta Sports 8x42. It has a huge fov (more than 8°), is usable with glasses.

Andreas
