    New binoculars under 200€

    Thanks for the suggestions! We haven't bought anything yet, but we are leaning towards the DB 8x32. If we manage these days we'll go to a shop and try out a few of the binoculars mentioned above, although it's difficult to find well-stocked sellers here.

    New binoculars under 200€

    Thank you all for your opinions and photos. Thinking about it I think we'll take the Opticron at 100€ if we were to go for savings, or the Vortex DB at 180€ if we decide to spend a bit more. I would hate to give up the 3D effect of the porros, but perhaps among the binoculars closer to 200€ the...

    New binoculars under 200€

    First of all, thank you for the advice. Excluding price, from an optical point of view did the Opticron seem better than the P7 to you? I understood that in this range there are no abysmal differences and all the binoculars mentioned perform sufficiently well, but I also wanted to understand if...

    New binoculars under 200€

    I really like the idea of getting a porro prims, but it seems impossible to find a balanced one for about 200€. I was attracted to the Kowa, but I read some opinions that it performs worse than the Opticron Adventurer, which, in turn, you say performs at the level of the Svbony. This is all very...

    New binoculars under 200€

    Vortex definitely remains an option, and their warranty is very attractive to me. However, from €200 and below, the Kowa YF II and Opticron Adventurer also seem very good (and beautiful) to me. To your knowledge, are the warranties Kowa and Opticron reliable?

    New binoculars under 200€

    Yes, I understood. I was referring to "They out perform all at the same price point above. At the ~£200 threshold, I would have no hesitation recommending them". How do you judge Svbony's brightness?

    New binoculars under 200€

    Thank you very much for the feedback. Very interesting that the Svbony performs better than all competitors in the same price range. Regarding the weight: according to the specs, the Svbony still weighs less than the P7. Am I wrong? Maybe it is sturdy, but reading opinions it doesn't seem...

    New binoculars under 200€

    Thank you. The thing I don't understand is whether the Svbony 8x32 are just great quality/price or even putting cost aside can they actually compete with the Prostaff P7, Vortex, Kowa etc etc Anyway, that there is no one answer as to which is the best binoculars under 200 I know, but maybe...

    New binoculars under 200€

    Hi! I recently bought my first binoculars to finally get into birdwatching, a monarch m7 8x42. It took me a few days to get used to it and now I am fully satisfied. Now I am looking for a second pair of binoculars for my girlfriend. She will hardly use it by herself, but she likes to come with...
