In my case, 15x70s on a Unimount provide lots of "Wow". Those 15x50 IS
are real appealing but also pricy, I suspect. More portable than my
Umimount (but less versatile .. can mount cameras and small scopes on
the Unimount).

I don't believe this has been discussed here recently...

It seems that the sweet spot, for me, falls at the 12x60
point mainly due to 70+ AFOV eyepieces, the sense that this
bino is simply s wide, magnified window on the sky.

What are your experiences with bino "wow" factor?


My biggest bino "wow" factor came with my first view of M31 in my Canon IS
15x50's. I was literally blown away by it's size and brightness. Moving down
to the open clusters in Auriga, I was in deep sky bino heaven! I can't wait
for Omega Centauri to come back around!
