Hi All
I am looking to buy a pair of moderate quality, long eye-relief binoculars usable (briefly) without a tripod.
Both Oberwerk 11x70 or Garrett Gemini 15x70 would seem to fit these requirements, and both seem to get generally good reviews.
Does anyone want to risk an opinion to help with this choice?
Would 15x make them totally unusable without a tripod?
Is x15 of significant benefit compared with x11? If it is not then presumably I would be better going for x11 to reduce the effects of shake when holding them?
Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom!
