Hello all,
I am new to the forum and I would like some opinions. I have been looking at some mid size binos, and I think I have it down to a couple choices in my price range. Either the Kahles 8x32 for $360, or a used pair of Swarovski 8x30 slc for about $100 more. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. P.S. Waterproof would be good, $500 probably my limit. Uses would be hunting , birding, general use.
The most recent issue on the news stands of "Bird Watcher's Digest" has a review article of bincoulars in your size and price range.
Here is a 8x36 for 220 dollars
