Hi there,
I want to buy a pair of binoculars, my first one, i am already bidding on a pair of Carl Zeiss Jena Jenoptem 8x30w, pretty sure they are nice but maybe a bit unpractical (?), anyway, i am watching these binoculars :
Hawke Nature-Trek 8×32 Binocular https://us.hawkeoptics.com/nature-trek-8x32-binocular.html
Celestron Nature DX 8x32 Binoculars https://www.celestron.com/products/nature-dx-8x32-binoculars
What i've noticed from the manufacturer specs is this :
The Celestron Nature DX 8x32 Binoculars says : Phase coated BaK-4 prisms for increased contrast and resolution
The Hawke Nature-Trek 8×32 Binocular says : Fully multi-coated optics to produce sharp images
What does that mean ? anyway from a quality manufacturing Hawke looks like a better brand than Celestron but i'm not quite sure this is just my own opinion.
As I said it would be my first pair of binoculars, I am also thinking about these 8 x 25 :
Celestron Outland X 8x25 Binocular https://www.celestron.com/products/outland-x-8x25-binocular
Hawke Nature-Trek 8×25 Binocular https://us.hawkeoptics.com/nature-trek-8x25-binocular.html
What makes me hesitate between 8 x 25 or 8 x 32 is that the 8 x 32 do have a higher exit pupil wich will be better for night vision, right ?
The Celestron Outland X 8x25 Binocular have a big Linear Field of View (430 ft (143 m) @1000 yds/m) but their Eye Relief is small (10 mm) maybe this (even not being an eyeglass wearer) will not make me enjoy this big FOV ?
Thank you for your help
