Thanks,well, last week just before the big wet of the weekend I went to the store again and they had a pair of vintage 10x50 binoculars. I decided to give them a go because they also gave me a free case with them (the original one was lost), and the case they gave me is actually for a DSLR camera and two lenses, which is something I wanted to buy anyway, but it also fits the binoculars perfectly...
The view of the moon was not bad at all... During the day I could also focus etc., but the view was a bit bright during the day (50 lets through quite a lot of light of course)... I have not been able to test them much because of the big wet, but at least they can focus OK and the images are sharp, although the contrast is not optimal, and I now also have a camera bag! I have read on the net that the quality is equivalent to Tasco. So nothing professional, but you can still see stuff... I am still keeping my eyes open for something better though! Possibly with "fully multi-coated" lenses.
