Having made do with a very average pair of opticron Bins for a few years ive decided to finally get a decent pair of Bins' and I need some general opinions as to what should be on my shortlist.
Info to Consider that may help:
I have a Swaro ATS80HD scope already.
Will be solely for birding/wildlife and almost always in UK
No budget as such but if i can avoid paying £900+ it would be good!
Would like waterproof ideally.
Do NOT wear glasses.
Nothing too heavy if possible but not main issue.
Was thinking and have been looking at the Swaro 8.5x42's EL but Im confused as to if enough benefit over the SLCnew's equivalent(maybe the 10x42 SLC) at better prices etc.
Or are there better options that fit above criteris etc.......
I know this is quite broad but opinions and suggestions and any key thoughts on the EL vs SLCnew debate be very welcome.
Thanks.
