just an update on lidl binocs, they are bak 4 not bak 7 as advertised

What is the significance of that?
Is it good or bad? :oops:

I've just bought three.

AS far as I know the bak4 are meant to be better than the bak 7 prisms. better light transmision I think.

ive seen these binos being sold on ebay for €50! Nice profit! :shock:

I dropped by Lidl in Kildare town last night just before closing time and everything except for a handful of the binoculars and books was sold. Two pairs of the bioculars were out of their boxes so I tried them out just for fun but noticed that the movement of the diopter-adjustable right eyepiece was quite rough and not comparable to the Meade Le set that I got for 20 Euro a year or so ago, also at Lidl. The only other fault was that the diopter adjustment wasn't quite enough to adjust for the difference between my eyes. Otherwise they were fine optically and mechanically OK.

I picked up a copy of the book. Nice coffee table book, lots of great pictures from the Space Telescope Science Institute but author or editor not credited.
