Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some bins for a bit of astronomy. I've been looking around and have noticed brands such as Orion, Oberwerk, Celestron, Zhumell, Garrett Optical, among others.
I've read some relatively dismal reviews on some of them (mainly Zhumell)...many of the bins look mighty similar...but of course, that's only from looking at the exteriors...I don't know about the interior components.
Garrett Optical's website uses some decent marketing, stressing customer service and their 14 point inspection, etc....
My question is, has anyone used any of their bins? (and if you have used the 15x70 or larger sizes, that's a plus) and are they actually any good? Did they show up properly collimated, are the optics decent, was the customer service, if needed, actually pretty good?
Thanks! :t:
