I am a newbie and wish to use binos for just nature, treks, mountains, outdoor, and general use. Went to Bushnell and tried some binos. One thing that is clear is that the image reproduced by Porros is superior to Roof types.
I tried 8x40 Nature view porro, 8x42 porro (called Legend or H2O, don't know), and 8x42 H2O roof. The image from nature view was the best. It was sharp, clear, bright, great resolution, 3D. The images from 8x42 porro were good, the clear 3d high resolution image BUT were not that bright compared to Nature View. The colors were somewhat watered down, yellowish. Same image with H2O roof minus the 3D and resolution. However these last 2 are more rugged, water/fog proof. If the 8x40 porro were also water/fog proof I'd have gone for themwithoit thinking at all. Please help me decide. I'm highly inckined towards the 8x40 porro but they are not water/fog proof or as rugged as 8x42 porro. I do have steady hands and take great care of my possessions so am thinking that may be I can go for 8x40 nature view porro if it's not too susceptible to damage/water/fog. Has anyone here owned it? What was your experience?
Cheers
