[NOT REQUIRED] 20x50 binoculars

[doug mc]

Looking for a 20x50 binocular for terrestrial viewing only. There is a Saxon 20x50 available for just $90.00. Anyone with experience with this one?

20x50 is ok if u just use the centre, ie if looking at boats, star quality is v average
if u can find a pentax 20x60 or 16x60 much better, nikon worse than pentax but still decent.

try these old school japanmade 16x50

I had a 16x50 Nikon Aculon some time ago, it was good enough optically for me. Sold it silly me. I have a great view from where I live and I think 20x binocular would suit. With my old eyes, good enough will be definitely good enough. Thanks for your reply.
