Pentax PCF WPII 10x50 or 12x50
      07/29/06 07:41 AM

as I freshman in this field, I decide to start my star gazing with binoculars.

Now I plan to order Pentax PCF WPII, but not decide go with 10x50 or 12x50.

1. 10x50 should be a better start point, but I found on some review say than 12x can see much more than 10x.
2. I don't know 5.0 degree vs 4.2 degree will affect me a lot of recognize night sky.
3. I'm 27, so I believe my eye pupil is more than 5mm, so 12x50 has 4.2mm exit pupil probably too small for me?
4. WPII's usable ER is enough for wearing eyeglasses?
4. last, I read some reviews say WPII's QC is worse than previos versions. I want to know for a new guy, this series is still a good choice or not now?

many thanks.
