Chuck; All the reviews I have read where the Fujinons were compared with the Oberwerks the Obies fared quite well. One reviewer called them "Fuji Lite". Todd Gross rated them an exceptional value. Sorry my endorsement caught you at a weak moment. It happens to me all to often also. Ron Chuck Hards wrote:
Well, thanks to Rich's surfing, Ron's endorsement (whose judgement I trust in such matters), and my impulsive bino-buying tendency, I ordered the Oberwerk 15x70mm.
Look for a formal review when they arrive; of course I'll perform a side-by-side "shootout" with the Bears. Anybody else want to participate? Anybody have another brand of 15x70mm bino they want to throw into the fray? It would be very interesting to compare these models with the Fujinon.
There goes my "fun money" for another two months....Damn you guys, anyway! (just kidding!)
Chuck
