I have Orion 15x70s, the long eye relief model, and it is pretty heavy. I find they work best in a reclining camp chair. It is important, i think, that you get ones with individual eye adjustment (diopter) because most people have eyes which are slightly different. I don't use them much anymore because I have macular degeneration in one eye now, so a monocular is better for me. I just close the bad eye using the Orions. If you have any sort of vision problem i would avoid binos, they just exagerate the problem. Don't forget these are achromate lenses so colour fringing will be present.
