I use the Tele Vue Bino Vue with 24mm and 19mm Panoptic and 16mm T5 Nagler together with 24mm click-stop zooms and a selection of Brandon’s. For higher power if needed I simply switch the 2x amplifier with a different Powermate. I like the Bino Vue because the clear aperture is large enough to accomodate the field stop diameter of the 24mm Pans. I recommend them because they are a first class product and the only ones I can vouch for.

The Zeiss ones in the classifieds at present sound like they may represent excellent value. If I didn’t already have the Bino Vue, I’d be tempted by the Zeiss.

I cannot vouch for any low cost ones as I have not used any but I’m sure there are bargains out there it just depends on how much you are prepared to spend on finding out. The clear aperture is one thing that pushes the price up but overall build quality is very important.
