Cheapy binoculars

[Col]

If anyone is after value for money bins, Just bought a pair of 7X50's from Nauticalia.............................£29.95 (not a misprint)
They even come with a case and neckstrap!
They are excellent value for money. Bought mine in their Lymington shop.

Hmmph, don't seem to have them at their shepperton branch going by the website. or I can't find'em. Even looked in their freebie catalouge that came with the RYA mag. When you going to lymington next?

Yep. That's where I first saw them. I was in Lymington yesterday, so I had a look and was impressed enough to buy a pair.

They sound like the ones that have been cropping up at street markets in the last year or so (Lymington Sat and Christchurch Mon)

I bought a pair and they are certainly very good optically. There's a lot of plastic in the construction though and mine have got a bit misaligned on a couple of occasions, mostly in the hot bit (remember it?) this summer and I think it would pay to keep them out of the sun.

At that price it's worth buying 2 pairs - one to take apart to see how to readjust the alignment. It's all in the front lens mount but easy to knacker first try!

I bought a pair of 'marine' binoculars off ebay. They had a coated lens which makes daylight use really good, brightening the view consdierably

Alas I found out too late that the red coating on the lens made red lights virtually invisible.

As we all know, the ability to see a red light at night is fundamental.

Now looking for a non coated lens for night work, preferably 'non-marine'

Re: Boring I know...

Having had a right going over by milltech for advocating two pairs of cheap binos rather than one pair of relatively expensive "marine bins" I conducted comparative tests with borrowed bins against my Dixons cheapies.

Results:

In bright sunny conditions, marginal advantage to marine.

In low light ,marine won hands down.

At night, marine the winner.

Ease of use,marine won again,and the compass was handy.

Conclusion:

Milltech is absolutely right,and I am not worthy for doubting him/forums/images/icons/frown.gif

re: http://www.on-line-marine.com/

being Bynolyt SeaRanger II 7x50 Compass Binocular for £123.36 ex. VAT

They look good value for money. How are they for us spectacle wearers? I've been spoilt as I have a pair of Zeiss binoculars that I use for deer stalking and they are optically superb and also provide a very generous field of view despite my wearing glasses.
