Just a bit more help on binocular choice, please
I have decided to go whole hog and buy the Orion Little Giant 70mm
binocs. I know nothing about pupil size, etc. But, I am 60 years old. So, would the best choice be the 11x70, the 15x70 or the 20x70? I'm thinking that with my age, the 15x70 would have the most appropriate exit pupil. thanks in advance for help! TOM CREAN IS APPARENTLY NOTHING WITHOUT DWYANE WADE |

You may also want to check-out the Orion 15x63s. 10oz.(20%)lighter and much longer eye relief (19mm vs. 8mm). Same quality features , more ergonomic, and $50-80 cheaper. |

If you plan to use a tripod and parallelogram mount, go for the 20x70s.
You'll see more. Clear skies, Shneor Sherman |
