Re: Anyone Tried the 15x70s from Burgess Optical?

A few further thoughts on big binoculars (I compared 5 above).
I think I did not do justice to the excellent Oberwerk 11x56 in my original comments. Upon direct comparison they very nearly keep up with the cheap 11x70's on deep sky, and are sharper on double stars. The quality (and likely QC) of Oberwerks is noticeably above the cheap brands, yet they still cost far less than the big three (Orion, Celestron, Meade). I think the Oberwerks will still be my choice for backpacking.
Unlike some other users I can't tell any difference between my cheap plastic (Carson and no brand) and fancy $17 (Swift, Japanese) metal tripod binocular adapters. I did just notice part of my interpupillary distance problem with my Pentax 20x60 was the tripod adapter.
If anyone wondered, eye relief is excellent with all five binoculars I discussed. I wear glasses essentially all the time when observing.
Again, hope this can help someone.
