BUY LEITZ BINOCULARS HOW TO

However, you can probably adjust the diopter correction of the binocular so that you do not need to wear your glasses. If you wear glasses you'll likely need a binocular with at least 15mm eye relief in order to see the whole field of view. When choosing a binocular consider its field of view and its 'eye relief' вЂ¦ before considering its magnification. a ВЈ15 telescope? No? But you might be persuaded to buy a cheapo ВЈ30 binocular вЂ¦ in effect 2x very average quality ВЈ15 telescopes :(. and their combined images when set up properly should give you a superb 3D viewing experience.

Remember that a binocular is in effect two telescopes side by side.

Time spent studying a few You Tube videos showing how to optimally set up a binocular is well worth the effort. Buying secondhand can save ВЈВЈВЈ if you understand exactly what you're buying and know how to set up a binocular properly вЂ¦ for your own particular eyes. Most binoculars offer good imaging but it's not until someone tries a top of the range e.g., German, Czech, Austrian, Japanese instrument that they can appreciate the difference compared to a Chinese manufactured binocular. I see Macleod's have a pair of used Leica 10x25 BCA's for ВЈ225.(I have a pair of these as well, great for travelling) Other shops worth looking at for s/h binos are: I have a pair (yes, I have a binocular 'problem') and whilst they do not have the optical coatings to deliver an outstanding image they are more than adequate for regular daylight use. If your budget won't stretch to those then perhaps consider the Zeiss Jena 10x42 Notarems. Again I know of many sets still in regular use. The Zeiss 7x42 and 10x40 BGAT's are also worth looking out for - the prices have dropped compared to a few years ago. I see Ace Optics have a pair of 8x30's at the moment.

I saw them the other day and they were in fantastic condition. I recently advised someone who wanted a secondhand pair for wildlife watching at dawn and dusk and they ended up getting a pair of Swaro 8x56's from Ace Optics ( ). I have a Swaro spotting scope and Swaro 8.5x42 binos that are used extensively, and even though probably 15 years old they are still a delight to look through. Many people I know have sent their battered Swaros off to Austria for refurbishment and received them back in pristine condition and at no charge. Personally I prefer the colour rendition of Leicas (I have two pairs) but the aftercare service from Swarovski is justifiably legendary. Zeiss, Swarovski and Leica all make great binoculars, and you can pick up some excellent secondhand sets for relatively little money - not ВЈ200 admittedly but perhaps ВЈ500 to ВЈ600. Personally I would endorse the recommendations to go for quality.
