I am still trying to find options for 8x30-32 binoculars.
A few weeks ago I got a bargain price on the Vortex Viper 8x30-32, but although it is very good on axis, the sweet spot is too small, the image really degrades at the edge, and the field of view is too narrow for my liking.
I am still looking at the Kite Lynx 8x30 as it is lighter, has a better field of view, and is reasonably priced.
Recently a Leica Trinovid 8x32 BN came up on the used market here in Australia but the asking price is about $US680. I'm wondering whether this is a good price, reports mention the Trinovid does have a 67 degree AFOV but no ED glass. That being said, what do you think is a better purchase?
