Chris H Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Are you going to hold them or put them on a tripod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus 6 Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Sorry chris should have said they are going to be on a tripod.Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 The Pentax 12X50 PCF WPII gets a good review £140 at FLO or there is the same model as a 10X50. Another couple of 10X50's that get good reviews are the Nikon Action Extreme and Opticron Imagic TGA WP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexus 6 Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 funny you should mention the Pentax set as I was looking at them on FL0's website just before I put this thread up.Thanks again chris Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 From what I've read the Pentax deliver views which are crisp to the edge but have a narrower field of view whilst the Nikon's have a wider field of view but are not quite sharp to the edge not sure about the Opticron's. If it were me I'd probably go for the Nikon's not quite 100% sharp but I prefer to have as wider field of view as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus 6 Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Chris:icon_salut:Now you've got me. Think I would rather have the widest fov like yourself. Whatever I choose their bound to be an improvement on my £25.00 Bressers! Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitram100 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 My Celestron Skymasters blow me away everytime i use them so i would recommend them, they are also just light enough to be able to hold without a tripod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeSkywatcher Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 My Strathspey 20X90 are fantastic. They now cost £160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
