Just received a set of Saxon 10x50WARC binoculars offa eBay for AU$80 delivered to my door. Retail prices that I've been able to find suggest around $145 is the going price. So.. not bad.
Anyway - they seem pretty good on earth-bound targets. Eye relief is pretty comfy and focusing is good with only about 90 degrees focuser wheel travel which is nice in that you don't have to wind it in or out too much. Comes with front and rear caps, a front-facing mount socket and ballistic nylon case.
Looking forward to some night time usage tonight. I was going to go for 7x50's but 10x50's don't weight any more and the magnification is only a little more. Hopefully they won't be too wobbly without a tripod.
Anyone else have a set of Saxons like this? How are they?
