Chuck et al- I'd like to have a look at those Oberwerk binos and toss a couple of rounds in a 'shoot out'. It'll give me a chance to show off my paralellagram mount I built over the past couple of weeks; I was so inspired by the showing at the last SLAS meeting that I designed and built my own. So far it seems to work pretty good, and had a good time building it too! Let us know when they show up. What the heck good is fun money if we don't have fun with it?! My favorite saying to my wife is: 'Spend what you want- just don't tell me I'm broke...' 8^) Joe Borgione -------------------
Well, thanks to Rich's surfing, Ron's endorsement (whose judgement I trust in such matters), and my impulsive bino-buying tendency, I ordered the Oberwerk 15x70mm.
Look for a formal review when they arrive; of course I'll perform a side-by-side "shootout" with the Bears. Anybody else want to participate? Anybody have another brand of 15x70mm bino they want to throw into the fray? It would be very interesting to compare these models with the Fujinon.
There goes my "fun money" for another two months....Damn you guys, anyway! (just kidding!)
Chuck
