I won a pair of Vortex Crossfires in the Bird Watcher's Digest drawing last week :t: Not too interested in them I contacted Eagle Optics (store I received the binoculars from) about exchanging them and they said I could. A nice pair of compacts has been on my wish list for years. Currently Eagle optics has the Leupold Katmai 8x32 on sell. The model has been discontinued so it is at a great price with the exchange of the Crossfires. With Christmas coming and having just bought a new mirrorless camera and 3 lenses, money is tight so I am trying to stretch my available dollars with a quality discounted binocular.
My biggest hesitation with the Katmai is the Field of View at 335 feet/1000 yards. A lot of other 8x32 models seem to be in the high 300's or low 400's. Any thoughts on the limited field of view or any 8x32 Katmai owners experience with this model? Reviews seem to be no existent.
Thanks,
