Low light condition binocular



I am interested in knowing the best very low light condition binocular, and I suppose that the 7 x 50 mm models are the solution, but what 7 x 50 mm amongst all the others?

With the words "very low light condition" I think dawn and dusk, but also night.


Greetings!

I've tried just about every configuration for low-light, including the best 7x42 models, and I've found that nothing beats the Pentax SP 10x50 for all-around low-light use. They double as VERY good astronomical binoculars for no-light use... the only drawback is the narrow field of view compared to other 10x50 models (which I'm convinced is most of the reason these perform so well in low-light conditions!).

Best wishes,
Bawko


I've got a pair of Orion 8x56 mini-giant Porro's which are good for low light conditions.They are fairly light for their size. Also good for astronomy or low light conditions. Paid $150 for them ordered out of Orion's catalog. They have a clear, bright sharp view but field of view is only 5.8 degrees. Also the view is copmletely round when you look out.
