Hi everyone.
It's a question I keep wondering recently, as the second hand market comes up with alot of good gear, whether a used set of alpha 8 x 32 would a better choice than a mid level 8 x 42 for the same money?
Both lightweight, but higher standard of glass (meaning possibly better light gathering), comparible field of view but better build quality of the Swaro might be a better choice than say a vortex viper hd 8 x 42, that will let in more light because of being a 42, but does not compare in build quality, ergonics, grade of glass, fov, accessories, warranty.
Hope that makes sense and would love to hear your thoughts.
