Hi all,
I’m consider new to the world of optics, specifically on binos. In fact this equipment just came into my life about a year and a half ago when i go into birding. Previously I’m into photography, more on nature/landscape but turn portraits.
Went into birding since late 2017-early 2018 and have been trying to get a bino to start off. Joined clubs etc and started reading about the bins and the brands which of course leads me to the Swarovski, Leica and Carl Zeiss topic.
I would like to know for those who use exclusively a brand or those who have experience with either:
1. what is your advice for owning more than 1 piece of bino? Eg. Would it be better if I go all for the same brand for better viewing, expectation, customer support etc? Or have a mix of both or 3 to enjoy/experience the best of all worlds?
2. What are the key strength (your PERSONAL likes) and weakness (your PERSONAL hates) about the brand/range etc.
Your sharing would be invaluable for my reference as I’m quite overwhelmed by the selection of brands/range etc.
Really appreciate all your sharing!
