Rich,
If you are going to put them on a tripod why not replace them with 20x80's? Higher Mag and more light, what is the advantage of 15x70? Erik Hi all,
After my toddler grandson tipped over my tripod and broke my 15x70 binocs last year, I've been looking off and on for a replacement set. Anyone on the list have any strong recommendations for, or knowledge of deals out there on a replacement pair? Either 15x70 or 20x80 is what I'm looking for (I have a nice parallelogram that Mr. Hards made for me a few years back, which works wonderfully well) . Also, anyone know about the quality difference between the Celestron 15x70's for $80 and the Orion 15x70's for $229? I called Orion and the "technician" didn't know enough about them to be able to describe the difference! The only obvious difference I can see in the photos/description is the individual focus on the more expensive pair. I assume both are Chinese made (probably from the same factory...?).
