Hi all

I am planning on buying one of the two bino's in the subject. I have been reading a lot of good reviews on the Oberwerk's but can't seem to find much on the Celestron. Anyone with experience on the Celestron please share. The reason why I am posting is because the Celestron costs almost half of the Oberwerk and as far as I know Celestron is generally a good product.

Thanks

If price is your concern, the barskas (on "that" auction site) are really cheap, and they come with the tripod adapter to boot. I've seen favourable reviews on it, though, like the celestron they only come in 15x. Hey, they might even be the same pair as the celestrons.
