I'm looking for a pair of lightweight porro's to give somebody as a birthday present.
Whilst I realise they're seriously unfashionable surely there must be something out there apart from the Nikon E II and SE that will give a reasonable performance.
The Opticron SR GA 8x32 sound like a possible and at sub £160 good value for money. The binoculars are to be used primarily as a walkabout pair. The owner has another pair of larger Swift Audubon porro's which are great for use in a hide however climbing up and down mountains with them is a bit too much. Compacts eg. Nikon Travelites are out due to the limited depth of field and narrow field of view.
Suggestions welcome - please!
Thanks
