TOMO 26,600 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 MINE ARE 12X50 GOT THEM FROM ONE OF THE STALLS AT A GAME FAIR , COST £20. NOW THAY AINT THE BEST MAKE IN THE WORLD BUT THE MAGNIFICATION IS GREAT. AND THEY DO WHAT I WANT. Quote Link to post
Magpie 102 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 You really won't want to be carrying a pair of 10x50's about, they'll way a ton. What you need is 8x32 or 10x32. You only ever get what you pay for so the more you spend the better they'll be. Leica and swarovski are top notch manufacturers of binoculars but your talking onwards and upwards or £700. They will be nitrogen filled so they don't fog up. If you're in and out of the car going from cold to warm then ordinary bins will fog up and become useless. You can buy cheaper nitrogen filled bins but as I said you get what you pay for. My Leica bins come with a lifetime warranty so I'll never need to but another pare again. Quote Link to post
