Hi Roadbike,
what do you think of the Vixen porros? I am interested in the 8x32 and 8x42 Forestas but can't find much in the way of reviews.
Do you know these bins? What sort of view do they have, what would you say they are comparable with?
Apologies for going off topic here.
Best wishes
Martin
Hi Martin. My experience has been with the original Vixen Ultima binoculars. I believe some of those models continue under the current Vixen Geoma line. Of the 4 current Geoma models I would recommend the 8x32 for general purpose birding. I've also used it for viewing the night sky. It is light, very compact and delivers bright well focused images. If it is possible for you to purchase both the Foresta and Geoma and return the unwanted one you might try a comparative test. There is a notable difference in the FOV.
Foresta 8x 32 ZWCF 6.4 Degrees
Geoma 8x32 ZWCF 8.3 Degrees
Regards, John
