Digital camera reviews of Orion Scenix 10x50 Wide-Angle Binoculars
Digital camera Review: Beautiful, clear images
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these for astronomical use. I was concerned that they would be heavy, but they were not bad. I was able to find M44 easily in rural skies. The image is big, bright and clear, exceeding my expectations. I saw some minor distortion around the edges, which can be distracting when scanning, but I found this to be acceptable given what I paid. I couldn't justify paying over $200 for the next model up, but I am very satisfied with the performance and price of these binoculars.
Summary of Orion Scenix 10x50 Wide-Angle Binoculars
Orion's Scenix binoculars offer the superior optical and mechanical quality you expect in more expensive binoculars but at prices nearer to those of lesser-quality department stores brands. The Scenix series incorporate porro prisms made from BAK-4 optical glass, the same type found in binoculars that sell for many times the price. Moreover, every air-to-glass surface is antireflection coated. The objective lenses are multi-coated for maximum light transmission. The housings are constructed of sturdy metal, and armored with protective rubber. All include a vinyl carrying case, lens caps, deluxe wide neck strap, and accept a tripod L-adapter. Two-year limited warranty.Binoculars
