Hi everyone, just found this site by accident via google, was looking for info on binoculars.
I am thinking of buying a larger pair, the only ones I have are 10x25, only really used them for general sight seeing when on holiday etc.
I like the idea of the Celestron 15x70 but I dare say they are too big and heavy to be carrying with you on holiday? Can you get that size of magnification in say the typical overall size of a 10x50 binocular? Would a 10x50 pair give the same magnification as my 10x25, ie 10, does the 50mm lens add in anyway to the magnification or just let more light in?
I dare say i want the impossible, a light weight pair with enough power to see the moon,aircraft,mountains etc in great detail.
Anyone know if the pair below are any good to start with? If I knew for sure that they would get a lot of use then maybe a Bushnell waterproof pair for around the £100 mark would be a good starting point?
