    It's been a few years since the topics of what binoculars to buy, other models came out.
    As of today, which you advise, I am looking for tourism, etc.
    I have 20x60 Soviet binoculars.
    Currently, something with better magnification and a lighter PLN 400 to PLN 600
    I've found two
    1). Yukon Futurus 8-24x50 binoculars (apparently the best one has zoom)?
    2). 30x50 yukon binoculars
    Maybe some other you recommend.

    Without a tripod, you can handle the binoculars with a magnification of max 12x, and really 10x For tourism, the best is universal, e.g. 8x30 - 8x42, if you look at birds 10x40. If you also want to stare at the sky, 10x50 can be, although heavy and large. My proposal is 10x42 Nikon Prostaff 3s - universal and light. The zooms have a tiny field of view, as if you were looking through a keyhole, it's a shame to get tired. I use two binoculars - the Soviet BCP5 8x30 with a wide field of view for nearby bushes and birds in them, and Nikon Prostaff 7 10x42 for birds on trips, viewing the sky and details in the distance.

    As if you were checking the binoculars, parallelism of the optical axes is important. Especially at higher magnifications. You put the binoculars on something stable. You are looking at a distant object: several dozen, several hundred meters. E.g. a specific window in a distant block. It is to be in the middle of the field of view. And you check if looking through the second eyepiece is also inside. As you can see that the center of the second field of view "looks" to another place, this binoculars should not be yours.

    Thank you for every hint.
    I will rather buy a new one.
    I will look for a movie, maybe something about enlargements will be there.
    I would not like to have a worse lens than the Soviet 20/60 can be smaller and lighter.

    Cool binoculars are what have a large lens, e.g. 10 or 15x70, thanks to which in the evening / night they work like a night vision device, but it depends on who.

    Now a lot of replacements, no one knows what to look at.
    Give them some names.
    For example, alledrogo sells the most, PLN 200 each.

    ........
    I was watching 30x50 yukon binoculars (Yukon 22011 NRB) for 300 PLN, but it has something with lenses because I can double see how it is extended to the max, and how narrowed under the size of the eyes it can be seen well. the seller wanted a minimum price of PLN 200
    is it profitable to repair it, or is it good, e.g. from those whose names I gave

    I think this will be the best:

    Hello!
    Old PZO 7x45 - really good for tourism.
    Zoom rather if you do not have too high requirements for the quality of vision and you need a very universal, and for this you rather lose brightness.
    I played with Yukon's equipment, but the impressions were poor - this was how I associated it with Soviet products dressed in poor materials (but maybe something has improved for several years)
    Regards

    Models are changing
    I don't know what you had but since this 30x50 yukon (Yukon 22011 NRB)
    costs 700 PLN 800 PLN it must be worth it
    all in all, I like this Delta Optical FOREST II 12x50 binoculars more
    has 12 close-ups

    They also write, there is nothing to overpay, too much and recommend Celestron15x70 or Celestron 25x70

    Celestrona 25x70 has a colleague and we tested - for the price I liked it very much - I was tempted to buy it only requires a tripod or at least a good support but it was really created for such work.
    If I had to decide about going out into the field with binoculars, I would probably prefer a smaller 10 to 15 (and lighter at the same time)
    I have been going to Delta for a year to compare and feel, or possibly to Solec for Telescopes and I can't go. A bit of laziness and a little because I do not want to part with PZO (after all I will not wear two) and it is really successful.

    I used Soviet 20X60 to date
    Celestron 15x70 maybe better than what I have?

    It's best to take a few binoculars and aim at the same punk, I don't have a store in my area
    I am interested in one thing on Alledrogo this Celestron 15x70 is from PLN 316 to PLN 350
    And in Media Mar ... it's for PLN 500
    Does anyone know why
    And whether to buy it on Alledrogo or in another store

    I would rather go to the store for optics - while watching you can catch some deficiencies and besides, you usually compare a few and maybe choose something else.
    So if you can get to a large company, you need some time and maybe trips to another region but it will pay off.
    The second issue is transport - I bought a microscope and after delivery by courier (I checked: the package was OK) I unpacked, folded and the problem - a prism detached in one of the glasses.
    Repair on your own, happiness that the prism has not broken.
    Anyway, in this case I had no choice: I hunted him on ebay for a long time because, unfortunately, Leica SZ keeps the price and I wanted a little cheaper - he got to Germany and only a courier as a delivery.
    I do not want to suggest a clear guilt of the courier because there were three drops of glue on the prisms and the packages, however, despite the stickers are not treated like eggs.
    And as for Soviet products, they can often surprise with their performance, especially those made for the army were very solid.
    I have two Arsat 30 and 80 lenses - they work perfectly and the image qualitatively at the level of modern and expensive toys.

    ... And thanks to this topic, I finally drove to Delta, looked at it and felt, but I bought 25x70 - in this class and at this price probably not bad.
    I chose between Celestron 15x70, 25x70, Delta StarLight 15x70 and Delta SkyGuide 15x70.
    The latter probably had the best image but the price and separate focus adjustment for each eye (I missed this knob in the middle) prevailed.
    I also hesitated at Celestrons who:
    15x blades closer - something about 15 m and less hand shake - comfortable, light
    25x minimum sharpness something approx. 25-30 m shaking more visible but good image, clear without any major distortion. I did not notice any significant aberrations, but in the middle of the day at full light not everything comes out. I'll wait till night and hope that I won't see anything.
    And anyway, in my case it will rather be used for terrain and some nature - maybe sometimes the moon - and I am tempted to buy Baader ND5 foil and look at the sun.

    Thank you for the information. So you bought it Celestron SkyMaster 25x70 somewhere 400 PLN. I was already decided on Celestron SkyMaster 15X70 but? in this video link compare three; Celestron 10x50 vs Nikon 12x50 Vs Skymaster 15X70, it seems that Nikon has the sharpest picture behind Nikon 12x50 you have to give 700żł / Skymaster 15X70 somewhere 316 PLN. A large lens at the end is a plus for sure
    magnification also but there is still a sharpness problem to choose.

    As for the sharpness, the celestrons are really good (at least I see it that way)
    A large objective lens means more light, i.e. better in the evening and smaller spherical aberrations (usually).
    Unfortunately, films of this type comparing various devices shot with a slide-in camera under the eyepiece are a misunderstanding - you should start with a test camera, which, in addition to being of very high quality (many times higher than the quality of the tested equipment), must also be mounted on a perfectly aligned slide set and mowing the optical axis and usually the trial starts with test screens.
    In the case of such amateur attempts, the camera and binocular defects are superimposed (some interference, strange flares and discoloration, as well as poor focus performance)
    I do not want to say that Nikon is worse only should check it with your own eyes or you have to take someone's word for it.
    Here you have the one I bought: https://deltaoptical.pl/blizej_nieba/lornetka-celestron-skymaster-25x70,d1841.html
    The only drawback I have noticed so far is this small tripod (tripod foot) - I attached it to a stable tripod and this is the most delicate element.

    Ok, I think I will decide on this Celestron 25x70
    I just have to jump close to Krakow

Topic summary
