Hi People:
I was telling another racecalling colleague of mine about this site the other day and he asked me to pose the following question.
He currently uses Nikon Action EX 12x50 Binoculars on a stand for racecalling and is reasonably happy with them.
He wanted to know about recommendations for porro prism binoculars, either 12x50 or 10x50 for less than $500.
To him, a wide field of view would be helpful and the feeling they are not going to fall apart. I suggested a used pair of Dekarems/Jenoptems would fit the bill perfectly but he is unsure about buying used. Weight is not so much of an issue as they will be on a stand.
Also suggested these: http://www.bigbinoculars.com/ultra50.htm
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Craig.
