Grayrock, SASS #64093 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Shopping for a friend. Has a cityview apartment and wants a higher quality pair of USED binoculars to replace the Celestron 25 X 80 pair he currently uses. He says they are not sharp enough. They would be tripod mounted. Tells me not to break the bank , but his bank is different from my bank. I found him Barska. But then he tells me he was hoping to find Zeiss. So what do y'all have out there?

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 It sounds like a quality spotting scope would be a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayrock, SASS #64093 Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 I thought so, too. But he insists on binocs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeaconKC Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 If he can find a good set of surplus Stiener binocs, they are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostrum Damus SASS #110702 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 There's Celestron's 25x100 (which is likely better than the 25x70 he's got) or there's high-end stuff like Nikon's 25x120-binocular telescope which can be had for a tad under $10K new, or there's Steiner's Observer 25x80 Binoculars Sports Auto Focus 86531, which is for sale on eBay from a German seller for under $1200 (and the seller says he'll ship to the USA).

Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Why stop at Zeiss when there are Swarovskis? He uses a different bank than I as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Gun Cole Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I thought the best for the bucks was the Steiner, only the Swarovski were better, at triple the price... 3GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
