Does aperture rule?       12/18/06 06:25 AM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply:   I think aperture is less important in binoculars due to issues like quality, portability, handhold ability, intended use, and cost. I have aperture (25x150s), but also use 20x100s, 22x60s, 8.5x44s, and 6.5x21s due to circumstances. edj -------------------- n w arkansas Binocular, Solar, General Amateur Astronomy Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Is aperture king?
