Have reposted this in a new thread, because although it seems obvious I'm not sure how to go about ensuring I spend a fair amount of dosh on the right binoculars...holidays are getting nearer...so I've started thinking again about compact binoculars. I've read lots of the threads and enjoyed considering lots of different points of view, so now I think we'll go shopping!
'On paper' I think I have narrowed it down to the Swaros 8x25 or Zeiss Victory 8x20 and maybe the Nikon's and Hawke's. They will end up being our only bins. So I wonder, as the time in a shop is so constrained compared to the time the bins will be owned, what things to consider when actually comparing them? Also - maybe a daft question - how is it best to compare them?
