Message: <blockquote data-quote="SPOTTED FLYCATCHER" data-source="post: 1760910" data-attributes="member: 59332">hI,I have just bought a pair of Opticron SR GA 7-18x42 (they were going cheap) and i can't put them down. The optical quality is really pretty good at 18x and at 7x they are the sharpest binos i have ever seen. I tend to use them at about 9x....which just feels right...zooming up to 18x to make distant ID's. i can hold them still enough to get the ID. Living near the coast they are proving invaluble and i don't always now need to take the scope. Weight wise they only pitch in at 797g so not to weighty....great binos</blockquote>
