Review: Opticron WP Observation 16x80

[BinocularSky]

At last! A bit of weekend reading for y'all at http://binocularsky.com/binoc_reviews.php

Summary: Darned nice binocular. Big, flat, bright field. Weighs less than the Helios Apollo 15x70.

Excellent review, but out of my budget.

 

You may wish to change the date on the last page by your name. It is so last year....

Very interesting and potentially expensive read ;). Seriously tempted! Thanks for another excellent report.

Very nice read Steve on what is clearly a very capable instrument, thanks for posting 

Ps. One of your previous reviews has cost me money in the last few days, but more on that later when I've had a good old play with it

Very nice report. You've given me something else to consider.

I'm curious! I hope, when you've had your "good old play" that you feel it was money well spent! Seriously, I'd be very keen to hear feedback about the usefulness or otherwise of my reviews.

I picked up the Lunt at a great price (thanks to the excellent Euro/Sterling exchange rate) from here....

I'll add a few more thoughts on it in a seperate thread in due course, but so far, very impressed!

Ps. Your reviews are an invaluable (although potentially wallet lightening!) resourse, so please feel free to keep them coming

Ooh, that is interesting. The 10x50 is at a very good price! You may just have caused me to spend some money...

You know I'll only offer incouragment, I love to spend other people's money
