At $1700 it's a big investment in binos. Garrett has 1 review based only 1 hr of observational time. Has anyone else spent some time with these? This is the competitor to Oberwerk's 45 degree bino which costs $100 more. Both have the 1.25" standard eyepieces and I love the 45 degree design, but are the optics great and are the Garrett's as good as the Oberwerk's?
Decisions...decisions...I need more reviews..
