Hi, new on here so hope this is the right place to ask....
Ive started birding again after 20yrs gap and need a pair of bins.
I have a compact pair of bins 7x22 with no name on them.
I want a new pair for reserves & lakes, ive been told 8x42 will be ok but how much more will i see with 8x42 opossed to the 7x22 ?
Also what make? i only realy want to spend £150.00 to £200.00 so i think its called buget ones?
Ive looked at viking navigator 8x42 also bushnell nature view 8x42 are they any good?
I see on this forum opticron imagic bga se 8x42 are well thought of ? but of course were talking £359.00 are they realy worth saving a bit longer for ?
I also like looking at deer and shipping, the type i want are the roof prisum ones by the way.
Hope you can help

A recently released binocular by Hawke Optics called the Frontier ED 8x43 costs, I think, 279 sterling. It is reputed to be a real challenger for top-end binoculars costing three times as much. They have a wider field of view than most other 8x bins, and reviewers report them as being very sharp, etc. I haven“t seen a pair (hoping Santa might drop me one), but they are available over your side from Sherwood“s Photo and Green Witch. Have a look at the relevant threads and reviews.
