Hello great community,
Happens that in a past of the couple days i'm struggling to choose first good binoculars...
I read a numbers of good reviews but id did not helped so far as there is no direct comparison between following two models i narrowed to:
Pentax 9x28 LV and Bushnell Legend 10x25
Both cost about the same, and have similar FOV and size/quality.
Initially i was looking at some great binos as Bushnell Legend 8*42, but considering the main purpose is general nature obas3ervance during travels, i decided size is matters in this case, and have small one sitting around batter then none... as even so 8*42 not large, it for sure takes space/weight and would be more dedicated tool rather then occasional toy.
But back to the above 2 contenders, apart from small diff in size/weight, main diff that i see is ER for Pentax (18mm) a bit better for eye wearer as myself, but Bushnell has a bit better optic/size and i guess 15mm could be reasonable for use as well.
Is there anyone who tried both of this models and could give their opinion on what they would go with if they had to choose one, and there is no specific requirements but just something that enjoy to use and not think about carry, more like just take and have it around, even if you not fully into birds yet
Thanks for any comments!
p.s. as an additional one I was looking at Pentax 8x25 DCF-SW, but i think beside a price it is inferior to both above models.
