• Got at link to some nice ones?
    Wearing glasses and having one eye with worse sight than the other makes adjusting an using binos a really awfull experience.

    edit: The only ones I kind find are either 10 gbp or >100 gbp - don't mind spending a bit more than 10.

  • I've got a Bresser Sprite 10x50 which I got for 43 pounds on the bay. It's relatively chunky though so most of the time touring I carry a "Carson blackwave 10x25" which I got for 16 (again on the bay)

    Sometimes you go somewhere and there's nothing worth looking at, so the Bresser feels a bit OTT. The Carson is always fine. I'm no expert on these things but those are what I use.

    Barr and Stroud and Celestron also have some decent stuff. I imagine there's not much difference in the market we're looking at, but it's probably worth going for a brand name of some description.

    Which is excactly the kind of opinion I was hoping for - that 25mm aperture is adequate.
    Because the ex-photographer in me thinks a larger aperture is always better, but none of the sites I've found are able to quantify/provide information about light sensitivity across a range of say 10x25, 10x32 or 10x45..
