gfletcher Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have the opportunity to purchase a pair of Canon 10X30 Image Stabilized Binoculars. They seem a very good price for secondhand binos. Does anyone have any views on these binoculars for both terrestrial and astro use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I've used 10x50 stabilised binocs before and they're brilliant. I've no idea about the optics in the one's you're looking at but Canon's a safe bet - and if it's a good price then go for it - they're fantastic.

+Ibbo Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I believe Canon are rated as the best unless you want to spend heaps of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have only heard good things, and that being stabilised, the smaller aperture is compensated for and allows very crisp images. John Hurst let my wife use a pair one evening, she has problems holding bino's steady, I think he had to fight her to get them back. She loved them.

xanthic Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I used to have a pair. Great bits of kit, wish I still had them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
