Hi,
I am interresed in getting a good pair of inexpensive BAK4 binoculars. I have looked at Barska Blackhawk series, Alpen Pro series, Winchester DTW and VDT series and Brunton. I am trying to keep it under $125, and all of these meet the price range. Anyone have experience with the above brands? I am looking for ones to avoid or definatly take seriously (other brands also an option).
Thanks
Dave
For your price range, look at the porro prism Bushnell Legend line. They will be superior to any roof prism binocular costing 2-3x as much $$$.
How about Nikon Action VII series? They are quite nice especially if you look at their price around 80$. At around 130$ you can get Nikon Action EX 8x40 witch is definately unbeatable in this price range and much better then Action VII.
Also look at Minolta Activa WP.FP series - with almost same optical performance as Action EX. And cheaper Minolta Classic Sport being mirror series of Action VII.
