20x80 by Burgess Optical ... WoW !!!...

I wasn't in the market for 20x80's but called him on his astro bino's. For $149.99 w/ BAK4 prisms and a 30 full return guarantee I said why not. I received the 20x80 LW and am honestly blown away. Big, hugh, expansive field of view, sharp easily to 90% of view. No need to send them back, I ordered a second set for a Christmas gift to a buddy. They're light, you can hand hold them, but a mount really does them justice. Saturn offers a clear seperation between the planet "ball" and rings. Absolutely no dissapointments... This thread doesn't do them justice..

I heard really good reports of them too... I'll be ordering a pair right shortly amongst some other things from Bill... I spent about 3/4 of an hour talking with him the other day ( I called from Canada ) . He's a really great guy!!

Is there much glare looking at bright objects through these particular ones?

Steve,
I talked a very little bit with Bill Burgess at MASP. I was so blown away by his little 7.5x32 birding binoculars that I bought them immediately and have been telling anybody that would listen what a great bargain they are. He had so many truly amazing bargains on that table full of binoculars that it was hard not to want one of each size from 32mm to 100mm.

Subsequently, I've exchanged a few emails with Bill, and let me tell you that he is positioning himself to cause a revolution in the world of amatuer optics. I'm into astronomy, not astrology, but I'll make a flat prediction that if Burgess Optical can maintain the quality and the stock to satisfy the orders, they will be one of the fastest growing optics dealers in the near future.

I've been into good optical bargains for a long time, but I've never been so excited by any company as I am about Burgess Optics. This one has the potential to be a really good resource for both large and small binoculars and for telescopes. If the quality stays up, and if demand can be met, this is one company to watch. I've got VERY high hopes for this up-and-coming company.
