What will give me a biger FOV 9x50 or 6x26 finder

[gary777]

Hi, I am using a Orion 102mm Apex with a Orion 6x26 finder, I have a chance to pick up a Orion 9x50 for 20 pounds, a good deal, but I don't want a smaller FOV. Will the 9x50 give me a smaller FOV.

Thanks Gary

These are both straight through finders. I also meant TFOV

Thanks Gary

9x50 has 9x magnification and 6x26 has 6x magnification

Yes I relize that, but I wanted to know what had the biggest TFOV

I think 9x50  has 5 or 5.6° tfov, while 6x26 has 6.3° tfov. (i might go wrong here)

I would still go for the 9x50 though.

Thanks Rune, that's what I was thinking, better to give up a little fov and gian almost twice the apature and a bit more power...

I went ahead and told the seller I would take it.

Thanks  for your input guys....
