    Advice on binoculars

    I concur. In that price range I would be looking at Porro binoculars.

    Binoculars for sustained use in shade and low light

    I get what you mean by staring. Let me put it this way. When selecting binoculars, the first thing I do is go through pairs and pick a common focus point. Put the binoculars up to my eyes and focus them to the common focus point, then trade between brands and models. Maybe I’m very sensitive...

    Binoculars for sustained use in shade and low light

    The 10x54 HT sounds like a perfect low light substitute to my 15x56 slc. How is the viewing comfort through the Zeiss? I’m not able to view the optics before buying unfortunately.

    Binoculars for sustained use in shade and low light

    Greetings everyone. I spend a significant amount of time viewing wildlife, sometimes from first light to sundown. This puts me in a situation where most of my time behind binoculars is spent either in first and last light, or looking into shaded trees and bushes. I have a few priorities, but my...
