Hi Everyone.
Myself and my wife decided to join the WWT and we have been to our local centre (Arundel) quite a few times. I now want to get a set of binnoculars to help me get started with some spotting. I have no idea what is hot and whats not so after some searching I stumbled accross this place. I hope you can help!
I guess I just need a general pair for starting out. I am happy to pay up to £120 which, whilst I can see isnt a lot in a big market I hope that it can get me something that will get me started. If I stick with it then I can always upgrade.
So what are my choices? I had a look at some Bushnells (Natureview) for around that price. They had the H20 ones and the normal ones. I have also seen reccomendations for the Nokia Sportsters (8 x 36) which seem to be around £100. Its hard to say 'exactly' what I will be using them for yet. I do wear glasses so thats a factor and I have quite big hands.
I think waterproof would be better which the Sportsters are I believe.
I will have a read through some threads on here but if you have any thoughts on anything I am missing please do let me know.
Thanks everyone.
NIKON, not Nokia. Nokia is a Finnish cell phone.
Nikon Sporter 8x36 is fine for a beginner. Not phase coated, but the best at that level.
Yes of course. That was just a typo. Thanks for replying.
So the Nikons would be my best bet for under £100.
I saw a pair of Opticrion Oregon LE WP for £100 or so and wasnt sure if those might be better. I will go for the Nikon's if thats the general concensus.
