Hi from a wannabee bird watcher... it is my birthday in a few days time and I'd like a good pair of compacts!
I know binocular sutiability varies from person to person but I'd really appreciate some advice on what would be a good pair to try - preferably no more than £120, although could stretch a little if it made a big difference.
(I don't wear glasses by the way).
PS Any advice on where to use them in the SE-London/NW-Kent/Epping areas next week would be welcome too!!!
I can't find which forum this is in!
Meant to put it in the Binoculars forum, please feel free to place as apporpriate.
Thanks!
Try the Opticron Taiga - the 8x25's retail for about £90 - having tested a wide range of compacts earlier this year I'd say they're the best you can buy for under £120. In fact the only way to get something better is to buy one of the top end compacts for £300+.
