I'd like a waterproof bino for long walk carrying on moor, coast and beach here on the Isle of Lewis where it can be grey more than bright, although low sun is common. Small and light, an inter pupillary distance of about 60mm, suitable for glasses wearers then it would suit all my family.
Wading through many online reviews, I could get an Opticron Discovery 8x32 WP PC which are nice and small, cheap enough if my son drops them. Or a Hawke Frontier ED 8x32 with mixed reviews sometimes. Or a Zeiss 8x32 B/GA T* P*, but are they waterproof?
So with maybe a £500 max on something older but better "value", a bit less on something newer (works in my head ) would anyone suggest anything else?
Things around here are often further rather than closer, so going to a small and light 10x40 (ish) would to me seem ok too. I have a bigger pair for home use. And shops to try things out are far away.
Thank you for any help!
