Laurie61 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi, if both bino's were of equal quality there would be little to chose between them, both have a 5 mm exit pupil. I plumped for 8x40's with an 8.2 dg field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charic Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Both are low powered, I would suggest the 8x40. For, there's a notch more magnification and light gathering. Against, the loss of 1° of view. My 8x40's give me a wide 8° view which is satisfactory for my needs. Last time I checked, 8° allows me to to encompass Orions belt and the Nebula in the same view.
