Bins advice

[robneath]

Some advice needed - I have a pair of Leica 10 X 50 Ultravids, originally bought for bird watching. The problem I now face is that without a suitable adaptor I can't mount them on a tripod. So do I buy the adaptor (£65) and use that ot do I look for an alternative? I will say the view through them at the night sky is very good. Btw I still like watching magpies etc through them

I would definately recommend buying the adaptor as nothing else

costing less than 1K could possibly come close to giving you

the quality views that your Leicas offer.

The Leica adapter is a cumbersome affair but I reckon it would be worth having and considerably cheaper than changing to another easier to mount binocular with a similar optical quality.

thanks for that guys, I'm going down the adaptor route. I wasn't sure if it would be suitable as it does look cumbersome, but I'm happy now it will be.

A guest passed me a pair of bins this summer saying he could see the Veil in them. I had a look and just thought...Whaaaaat are these??? Had a look. Leicas. Never EVER seen anything like them. There was colour in M31, powdery fine-ness in the Milky Way, ohhhh....why do they have to be so expensive?

You should try a pair of Swarovski bins as well (or rather don,t)
