I bought 2 pairs of 10x26 bins for the glove box of our cars. I needed something to grab and view whilst pottering around (not whilst actually driving), and went for a space saving format that was generally ok.
I always have decent bins in the boot/trunk but these are for those 'what was that?' moments.
I was staggered to see 8x25 through 10x26 etc ranging from 19.99 to over 600...
Does anyone use this format as their all day binocular, or only bins, therefore opting for the alpha badges?
In this format I tried about 15 pairs, looking at the same few views, before comprising on quality for price, and opted mid range.
I just wondered if anyone "needed" the really pricey ones, or if it is just 'badge collecting'?
I am happy to acknowledge, personal choice, wealth and usage are also factors, but a 600+ price difference seems a bit hard to explain.
Cheers
