I'm looking for a new pair of binoculars to replace/upgrade my current Opticron 10x42 BGA imagic.
I'm trying to decide between the EL8x32 and the EL8.5x42 -- tried both for about 1/2 hour & both were fantastic.
I really liked the lighter weight and ergonomics of the 8x32, but leaning towards the 8.5x42 for the 'better performance in low light' & the confidence that I won't suffer further upgradeitis.
Any thoughts would be appreciated! I'd use these as my only pair of binoculars, for birdwatching. I do have a scope but mostly don't take it with me.
I realise this question or similar have been asked across the forum and internet -- I've read all I can find but still can't decide!
Thanks
