Binoculars advise please? (1 Viewer)

garykenyon · Mar 5, 2019

Hi there
Just joined and I would like to ask which binoculars I should buy for bird watching.

My mates got a pair of 10 x 42 Bushell Nature View (no longer made) which seem very good.

What make and model should I go for? Can anyone please help me out?

Looking to spend about £100 - £150 on a pair and want to get the best I can for my money as a newbie

Now should I go for 10x42 or 8x42?

Thanks in advance of your anticipated reply.

Hi Gary,
There no definitive answer but the most important advice I can give is to go along to your nearest independant optics retailer and try out a few pairs......it really is such a personal choice and decision.

scroll down past the manufacturer forums to see the general bino section.
