Bargain Bino's or Bollocks?
Hey everyone, i've been looking into getting some good binoculars and have been scouring websites, comparing prices, review, comments and specs. I thought i had found the perfect pair in an AOE 15x70 for $149 until i then read that AOE seem to have gone under. Now it seems the Andrews MB Ultra 15x70's are my next best option (albiet more than double the price)
unless there are views to the contrary
Anyway back to the title, this reminded me of some binoculars that i had picked up from Tandy for all of about $30 and had forgotten about. I got them out and looked at the specs printed on them - they seem to good to be true. 10 x 50 Wide Angle, 122m/1000m, Fully Multi Coated.
That makes them about 8 deg FOV right? I can just see Rigil Kentaurus and Hadar in the same field of view (although the edges are a bit blurry)
What do you think? Bargain or Bollocks?
