Re: Oberwerk Lightweight 20x80mm - Are they any go

Well, only a few hours since my last post...I couldn't resist and I went for....wait for it.....wait.....the Oberwerk "Lightweight" 20x80mm binos

Now all I have to do is wait for them to arrive...USA to UK. I hope they don't get damaged during shipping.

Anyway, will let you all know when they arrive...oh another deciding factor was the 3.5 FoV compared with the 3.2 on the "standards" but it was the overall weight that eventually won me over with these binos

--------------------
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.
