... or swarovski binoculairs: they are so expensive that i always be afraid to use them in the field ... Mayby for high end birders. Not for me.
No guys, i did mentioned the Fujinon 50 mm because i red much good performance tests about it AND because imo the price is not that astronomical high...
The M44 star count-test is very practical!!:
8x42= 40 stars versus 10x50= 57 stars : not the wow factor indeed.
Some suggest a 15 x 70. Then, in a mag 5 sky (like the sky at my backyard sometimes will be in winter) than the double will become insight: 90 stars... Ok! Of course i can use a monopod but i like the fact of observing by just using my hands in a quick observing session after work.
Another question about this 70 aperture league: is there one or more models that you can suggesting, what about the AP (resolux(?)) models?
I have never seen or use a IS Canon series binoculair, like the 15 x 50 in real. What about the batteries and so on. Is this a factor which makes "just observing" a complicated factor or is that a non-issue? I must say: i have to get used to the idea that a binoculair runs on electricity...Ok, i am learning. Thank you for that.
