Hi guys my first post here. I have been looking at this site for several months now, and have decided its time i join.
I am very interested in purchasing my first real binoculars for use on birdwatching by day, and stargazing by night. I have read Steve's binocular review's and think I know what I would like, but now need further direction.
Naturally I am very interested in the Helios LightQuest-HR 10x50 especially for the stars as the review is fantastic, but i see the focusing is on each eyepiece, will this be an issue when birdwatching ?
The other bino is the Pentax SP 10x50 WP as the focusing is a central one piece.
I understand both these binoculars I can mount on a tripod and being only 10x50 easily hand held. Regarding both these binoculars am I going to notice any real difference, any advice would be appreciated
Regards Steve
