Hi
I would love some advise on Binocs. I would use them for Broadway shows (I like seeing the actors expressions from the cheap seats)
Ballgames (looking for faces in the crowd, player faces, jersey numbers), and the occasional famous Hawks that appears over Central Park .
And they MUST be pocketable.
Ive seen great recommendations for Zeiss Victory and Leica Trinovoids, but i cannot afford these.
I have also seen websites recommend Nikon Travelites (IV,V or VI).
I must admit i tried the Canon10x30 Image Stabilized binos and liked them! Tested against Swaravskis that cost over a 1000
and others; it was the only one that allowed me to read the house numbers down the block. But they are simply too big.
My current cheapo Binos cause me to see double images no matter what i do.
I could spend 100 - 250$ figuring while i wont use it more than 10 times a year, i would have it for life.
One friend said to get a Zeiss Monocular which is around $250 thinking that half of great is better than full mediocre.
THANKS!!
