This issue came up on another thread; Iīm looking for advice on "observation" bins of 20x, īcos I find one-eye viewing through a scope difficult after about three hours - I basically canīt see with eye-fatigue. I also canīt get the hang of switching eyes. (I tried putting a "pirateīs patch" on my closed eye, this helps a bit īcos it means my scope-eye isnīt so squinty). So I thought maybe oversize bins might do the trick. I found a thread about the Zeiss 20-60s, but I donīt need image stabilisation as Iīd only be using them from a tripod, and only for seawatching. Also this model costs 6,000 euro, so Iīd have to sell my in-laws into slavery (Hmmm....). Are there any decent non-IS observation bins out there that people have found useful for seawatching? I suspect not, because if there were anything better than a scope available, Iīm sure Iīd have seen people using it. But any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
well, warehouse express have some helios 20X60 's that seem reasonable at 99 GBP. go to:
binoculars + spotting scopes
- binoculars
- observation
- helios
Pentax has good 20x50 models, you can put them on a 'pod
