I am a U/K member and my query is regarding my Helios 15x70 binoculars. They seem very similar in spec to quite a few other similar 15x70 binos advertized in the United States. Can anyone shed any light on the subject?

Hello Jeff,
I'm from the UK too and can tell you Helios 15 x 70 are exactly the same bino as Orion Little Giants.
Check the specs. out !
same dimensions
same weight
same (fully -multi) coatings
same BAK 4 prisms
same field of view
same eye -relief ( a terrible 8mm ! )
same finish
Just 60% of the price new if bought in the UK !!
Still available for around £139 if you shop around.
Don't forget --if you wear glasses , you'd be far better off importing Oberwerk 15 x 70s (2003 version ).
Regards --Kenny
