I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on these??

I have some Bushnell 10x42s which are really good for reservoirs/ distance work but want a pair of 8x42s for my local patch which would give a bit of extra brightness for the early mornings and late evenings.

I have decided to go for nitrogen filled/waterproof (same as my 10x42s) and am thinking of either Opticron Discovery WP PC, Avian Trekker or Swift Reliant.

Any comments to help decide would be appreciated.


Cheers

Hi Phil,

All are worth a check. I can say that the Discovery WP punches well above its weight for a £159 binocular. It has just been updated with an imporved wider FOV and a smoother focusing wheel along with a brighter, sharper image.
