Telescope Reviews: Re: Oberwerk Lightweight 20x80mm

Thankyou for your opinions gents, very much appreciated.

Hmmm, I'm nearly out my dilemma and you have given me excellent food for thought. I really am fussy about sharpness & edge correction and the "standards" seem to provide this but at the same time and by the sounds of it, the LW's seem to be very good also and they are alot lighter in weight which is pushing me towards getting them.

I wish it was somehow possible to see a picture of say, saturn through both binos to compare the difference.

Corky seems to be well impressed with his LW's saying there is no flaring and stars are crisp dots....but then again "standards" are better for correcting coma lol.

I think the lights are edging it here as I also want to hold them for certain situations, so I guess the standards will be far too heavy for that.

I will give this some more thought before I make a final decision

Thanks again chaps for your input

Strathspey 15x70's FMC - Amazing cheap bino for the price. Bright, natural color/contrast, sharp, and well collimated. Best for Daytime viewing
Celestron Skymaster 15x70's MC - Field of view has a Smoky/Brown tint making them less bright during daytime viewing BUT this doesn't seem to affect night time viewing...Testing against the Strath's continues!!!
Oberwerk Lightweight 20x80mm FMC - Arrived - Had to collimate them. Undergoing tests.
