Yes the 'United Optics' series 8 binos are excellent. I picked a a new pair of the 17x50MX versions [ Orion Resolux ] from the N.Z. 'E. bay type' site 'Trade Me' for NZ$400 about a month ago. [ Great price !]. Very high optical and build quality with allmost sharp to edge images and the contrast is exceptional. They are reasonably heavy but I can hand hold for short periods. They exude qualilty. If There is one 'all round 'astro bino you buy in a lifetime make it this one - the 15x70MX 's are truely impressive. If the 10x50 are similar - which I'am sure they are as the Q.A. on these series 8 is of a very high standard they would be impressivwe binos also.The weather is 'OK' in North Auckland - we have had several weeks of reasonable viewing. I had my 25x100 IF's out two nights ago looking at M42 and the detail was impressive with the bat wing structure clearly visible with green and blue hues - but thats another topic !
