Hi all,
I'm more interested in photographic lenses that binoculars, but it might be useful to have some binoculars handy to help develop my birdwatching skills and spot birds I subsequently wish to photograph.
I was thinking I ought to be able to get something reasonably ok entry-level ish for £100.
Is that a reasonable budget & which models would you recommend I try? I'd happily spend a little more if that gave me a much better pair, but only up to £130-150 max.
I don't want anything too specialised - might be gawping out of my window at home to birds in neighbour's gardens, more likely used nature reserves.
Couldn't care less about weight - used to lugging around lots of camera equipment. I want to use them handheld rather than on a tripod though.
Many thanks in anticipation,
Phil
Hi Phil,
have a look at this previous thread:

Post number 7 is from me and lists a few pairs that are good for around £100.
Good luck with finding something that suits.
