Hi
I suppose the cost of Denk binoviewer needs to be kept down to be affordable and I can see many shortcomings in my Big Easy package. I think we spend too much time reading equipment reviews on US web sites.
I find the Denks quite usable but doubt they are a class ahead of binos like WO or Burges.
As mentioned in previous posts the Denk eyepieces are good, so are my 24mm Panoptics (if you ignore slight vignetting ) or my KK Erfles 20mm. You will find that you will spend a lot more time comfortably studying objects so it pays to get eyepieces with a decent eye relief.
I treat the Denks as a stepping stone to my future 14" bino telescope project. (just dreaming for now and reading all literature on the subject).

Personally if I had to do it again I would choose a cheaper brand of binoviewer as the Denk failed to live up to the promise. I am not saying it's a bad product I just do not think it's any better than the rest of them.

Joe
