I am about to order my first pair of binoculars. After seeking an education on this forum and elsewhere would appreciate your input and recommendations regarding the following two similarly priced binoculars – Vortex Viper HD 8x42 vs. Alpen Teton ED HD Abbe-Koenig 8x42. I note that many high end binoculars use the Abbe style roof prism found in the Teton, is this a distinct optical advantage vs. the Viper without Abbe? Other considerations between these two binoculars relative to build quality, etc?
Much written about the Vortex Viper HD, I have found relatively little information about the Alpen Teton ED HD Abbe (I did note one glowing report on this forum regarding the Teton). Other binoculars I should absolutely consider in this general price range? Thanks!
