Hi,
I am new to these forums. I was intending to buy a pair of Nikon 8 x 32 SE porros. While researching I came across the new Zen Ray Prime HD 8 x 42. So now I am having second thoughts...
I want to spend around $600 so these are about the same price. I realize they are quite different instruments and I am not really a birder, they will be for general purpose use. But you guys all seem quite knowledgeable and opinionated, so I thought I would ask here for advice. One thing is my IPD is rather narrow and the large eyecups of the Primes may possibly be an issue. My main care about is flat undistorted FOV. Close focus to within 10-12 feet or so a plus.
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.
