Stephen ,
Of all the claims and counter claims you may read about binoculars , I can think of none more varied or difficult to prove or disprove than those concerning chromatic aberration .
In more than 40 years I've yet to look through ANY binoculars that hasn't displayed CA , and of the several I currently own , the worst culprit is a 20 x 90 .
Even stopping it down to 50mm doesn't completely remove it either -- yet some people seem hardly to ever notice or complain about the problem in ANY binoculars they have .
You never know , you could be one of the lucky ones who doesn't seem to notice it , but in any event , individual eyepiece focus is hardly best suited for daytime observation , that I CAN tell you .
Considering TWO pairs is a great idea , but with a top limit of £300 for BOTH , you are increasing your chances of disappointment further still , in my opinion .
Good luck
Kenny
