BrianB said:I am shortly going to buy a new pair of bins (birthday coming up!) What I am looking for is a pair of roofs, waterproof and 8x magnification around the £300 mark. Having done a lot of browsing I have come up with a shortlist:
Bushnell Legend 8x42
Nikon Monarch 8x42DCF
Opticron Imagic BGA ASFT 8x42
Zeiss Conquest 8x30
Are there any others I should add to this list? :h?:
Also, I know that I need to try out several pairs to see what works best for me, but any opinions would be welcome.
Many thanks

pduxon said:whoops - are they shower proof? The SE's aren't waterproof but are shower proof apparently
BrianB said:I think I'm going to have to spend a lot of time trying them out and seeing if I really think there is that much difference between them all
Thank God I listened to my wife 15 years ago - If I hadn't, I would be birding around with a nice Walkman-yellow pair of Minolta roofs... trying not to look embarrassed 3 . But back then there was no such thing as the Bird Forum.BrianB said:Eco..eccon...echo... No, I don't get it. I'm sure it's something my wife keeps saying though :eek!:
