Binoculars for under £1,000 (1 Viewer)

go to a store that has many different options,
then decide which one YOU like best;
not the one that I, or any of the other posters, like best.

Can anyone recommend the best binoculars for under £1,000?

I know it's down to individual preferences, but I need a start.

Thanks.

Welcome to BF Mother!

If possible, in my opinion the best place to start for your hard earned dough is an optical retailer or large sporting goods store. Make time to go in, try various mid-tier binos during full daylight and low light\ challenging light glassing sessions. Test their fit to Your eyes \ Your hands and purchase what YOU SEE is best for You! :t:

Good Luck,

Ted

The short, fat guy can't help butting in.

Ted is SO right. Buy what you want and don't be SOLD anything. Last week, I learned that Twin Falls is SO different from the Seattle area. I had occasion to visit 3 sporting goods stores--there are no optics shops in town--and each was filled with ruby coated binoculars, zoom binoculars, and binoculars that could be chum for a plastic-eating shark. And, the optical knowledge base? . . . What's that!?

Cheers,

Bill
