Dear all,
after I decided to get 1 compact zoom-model for concerts in stadiums I would like to have a second bino for birding and nature watching. It should have large magnification and a bright optic, I think 16x50 is good, maybe it could be also 20x50 or 20x60, but these are normally bigger and more heavy. I saw that the Nikon 16x50 is offered between $89,99 and $150 in the net and read a lot of good reviews about it. Maybe the Pentax 16x50 is better, but also more expensive.
I know Nikon from the cameras as a very good company, I hope the binos are the same.
Maybe you have other suggestions. I do not know all brands as I´m new in this hobby and in Germany we only know Nikon, Leica, Minolta, Pentax, Olympus, Zeiss and Steiner as producers of good binos. I´m not sure about companies like Celestron or Bushnell, but maybe you can give me a hint for a really good but cheap bino from a brand I dont know yet.
Thanks in advance!
