By conincidence, I happened to try out some Minox BV 8x42 at a local store after work today. I was surprised at how good they were. There were extremely bright, had plenty of eye relief for glasses and a nice wide field of view. I compared them to Bushnell Legend 8x32 and several others in the $250 to $350 range and I liked the Minox the best. They are very small for 8x42s and they were very comfortable in my hands. Mid price binos are getting amazingly good these days!

Thanks for the info BinoBoy, I'll have to go and check them out but they do look promising though.

Looked through the 8x42 BV binos and I liked em nice size weight and felt good in my large hands. Optics wise I thought were very clear, sharp and bright (the conditions were foggy and raining about 3pm) so on brighter days they'll be even better. They are fog proof, water proof. I was quoted £170 in the shop but I have seen them much cheaper on the internet. They make an excellent first binocular and the ladies will like them also.

I'm of to buy some. LOL
