Neal 1,874 Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) I was recently thinking of upgrading my binoculars. I currently have an old pair of summit 8 x 32 and a more recent pair of steiner safari 10 x 26. The steiners are lovely little lightweight things and the image is great in the middle of the day but (due to being 10 x 26) locating what I'm looking at can be a problem as can low light levels...but the low weight was what I bought them for. I recently found a pair of celestron granites 8 x 42 which I liked but they were c. £450. Does anybody have any experience with these or how would they compare to a steiner of similar spec? Thanks in advance. Edited to add: just done some more research and all the reviews I've seen are excellent and I've also found them for a tad over £330!
