Oberwerk Lightweight 20x80mm - Are they any good??
      05/09/08 03:49 AM

Folks,

The time has come to buy another big bino. I have my eye on the Oberwerk "Lightweight" 20x80mm but how do they compare with the
Oberwerk "Standard" 20x80mm

What does it mean when it says, "The 20x80 "Standard" has excellent color correction and edge-of-field sharpness due to it's relatively long focal length" and will this be the same specification as the "lightweights"? I ask this because the physical barrel size between the two binos look different, the "standards" looking longer.

The other specification differences can be seen but I really want to know if there is a substantial difference in "quality" between the two?

Thanks,

NairB
