Hi All,
I am pretty sure,the Saxon Brand are NOT the same quality as the Oberwerks.
I have a pair of Saxon 11x70 Binoculars,and a set of 11x56,(for handholding),from A.O.E,and I can assure you the 11x56s,from A.O.E,are FAR superior in Quality of coatings,and quality of Image,and have BAK-4 prisms,also no,or very little ghosting on a full moon compared to the Saxons,which have more ghosts,than a Cemetary,with their inferior coatings,and BK-7 prisms.(Prisms,have nothing to do with ghosting)
Saxon,are NOT the same as Oberwerks,I cant even Gaurantee the ones from A.O.E are either,but their Specs,are VERY similar to Oberwerks,
I also have a set of LW 20x80s from a.o.e,and they are STUNNING.
INMHO.
They appear REMARKABLY SIMILAR,to Oberwerk Standards,which according to EDZ,on Cloudy Nights,are the BEST 20x80s he has ever looked through.
I dont have ANY commercial interest in A.O.E.
Just buy my Binoculars from them,3 so far.
The Saxon 11x70s,are no longer used.
Regards.
John
