Hi,
after a lot silent reading here I am about to purchase my first good set binoculars. Had the Nikon m7 8x30 for a few moments but I could see massive veiling glare right away so it went back to the shop.
I really would like to buy the old Trinovid 8x42 which was made till 2015. It looks stunning and should be very well build. Some folks got a very good discount price as I remember correctly but everyone in Europe would like to sell them for at least arround 1000 Euro ! Most of them demos etc.
Do you guys think these bins are still worth 1000 euros ? I know they may have some CA and they may not compete with the real Tier one binoculars but they look fantastic !
I don't know ... Some are selling their Ultravid hd plus because they are too weak in controlling CA and glare or they miss the ease of view with the Leicas. I fell in love with Leicas design and build quality but are they just highly overpriced for what you get ? Is the new Nikon Monarch HG maybe a saver buy ?
I only have my old mans Dialyt 7x42 t*p for comparison and the new one has to be that kind of level. He never gives it to me longer than a few days
