Current binoculars
Hawke Endurance ED 10x42
Svbony SV202 8x32
I visited an RSPB site on Sunday and tried out the alpha binoculars. NL Pure 8x42 & 10x42, Noctivid 8x42 & 10x42 and Victory SF 8x42 & 10x42. All wonderful. Stunning! But at £2500, £1900, £2400 ish respectively, I simply don't think I'll ever benefit from them.
I've tried reading as much as I can. And know that most of you will tell me to buy alpha (probably correctly so).
I'm primarily a photographer, but do appreciate looking through binoculars occasionally.
I am a fairly early riser, so "decent" low light would be appreciated.
Still terribly torn on 8x42 and 10x42. Obviously the fov on the NL Pure is just great. But hey ho.
I don't want used binoculars. New only. Budget approximately £1000. Could be stretched a little.
Which brands and models should I be looking at/through?
Thank you in advance.
