I am interested in finding the best performing 12 power binoculars.
For finding a binoculars with ED Glass, I am limited to the Vortex Razor and Viper. I want them to work for twilight, so I am thinking of a minimum of 50 mm or as much as 60mm
Of course the European manufacturers do not say much about the glass properties. Steiner has an XP model that is 12x56, but I do not have confidence that it is as good as it could be. Meopta has a 12x that is good. Should I save up for one of the Big Three?
I am considering the Minox BL 13x56. I like the good wide view that it has.
When I called NY Cameraland, they tried to be helpful and pointed me to that 15x Minox BD model with ED glass. I realize that in the Big eyes level, that model has better features than the 13x model. I still want to hold out for a wider field of view.
For now, I have a Nikon 12x Action Extreme Porro. Does anybody have a good idea what roof binoculars that could be as good or better? I hope to have the exit pupil well illuminated as a Porro.
Thanks,
Rob.
Docter (the successor to Zeiss Jena) still sells the Nobilem 12x50BGA porro. It is heavy, close to 3 pounds, but optically outstanding. They also offer a 15x60 which tips up at over 4 pounds, really designed for use in hunting blinds.
Consider the Nikon 12x50 SE, well regarded as one of the finest choices. Flat field
