Dear members,
Like many of our readers and members, all types of wildlife, birds and natural history have attracted myself since our early childhood days.
However, progression especially with modern day technology of today has produced so many modern day optics, telescopes and binoculars of which could only at former times be something of a dream even to think of owning such items.
However, Nowadays it is somewhat the norm to be able to purchase even high_ optics at relatively affordable prices.
My question is, to many of our more knowledgable members than myself, especially when concerning binoculars or telescopes; are of anyone's opinions regarding the well-known optics company who produce very good telescopes and binoculars for a wide range of a activities of which include not just "Birding" but hunting also. I ,myself, did mention in a certain earlier post of what our members thought of the Minox 10x44 bl HD binoculars as a friend had his own pair for sale.
He has contacted myself once again asking if I'd considering a swap for my trusty, reliable, perhaps out-date pair of Zeiss 10 x40 B\GatT* P*and some money.
His Minox are as new condition and my Zeiss for the year are of very good condition and not one single mark on any of the lens.
In people's opinions, i'd love to hear from anyone's first hand experience of which is the better of the 2 binoculars if compared together in all departments, any advice would be really appreciated.
Yours Faithfully, Woodcock.
P.S.What would the Zeiss be worth nowadays in more or less excellent condition please?
