Hello everyone. I was advised to seek advice here from another forum (I am a flash light addict).
Anyway I have 2 basic questions and hope you you can help me resolve them.
1- Should I get am 8x32 or an 8x40? The guys in the other forum tried to advice me. They have some knowledge but obviously you are the right crowed to ask.I want it for hunting, bird watching and general use while hiking.
2- which of these is best?
Nikon Monarch 8x42 ATB Waterproof & Fogproof Roof $254.95
Pentax 8 x 43 DCF SP, Superior Performance Water Proof $399.00
Nikon 8 x 32 Superior E, Weather Resistant $549.95
Thanks much in advance.
Hi there, welcome to Bird Forum
If the binoculars are for hiking I'd go for the lightest ones that you can get that give you good vision. Usually an 8x32 is lighter in weight than an 8x40, however this isn't always true so you need to ask about the weight.
Of the 3 makes you list, I'd avoid the weather resistant ones as they may not be totally waterproof, if they were then the makers would say waterproof.
