I need to get some bins for my (non-birder) wife so she doesn't get bored when I hold up our walks to look through mine !
I was thinking budget £150 max-compact lightweight preferably.
Have thought about RSPB ( Viking I think ) 8X25 but don't know their reputation.
Any thoughts please?
Thanks
Colin
Nikon Monarch roof prisms arent compact but their lightweight @ 21 ounces. they just come at your 150 pound budget. i wonder if they are available in UK?
Another vote for the Nikon Monarchs, with the caveat that she should try them out before purchase if possible. My wife uses the 8X42 and loves them. If you want a little smaller pair, you might try the 8X32 version. Compacts have their place, but if you want your wife to spend more time looking through the bins and enjoying them, a better view (such as the 8X32) will help with that.
