Or what do you hope they say about you!
Or what do other peoples' binoculars say about them!
Well, it's clear from other threads that there are some very good porro-prism binoculars out there, at a good price as well, but in an age where 'Image' is everything, many people wouldn't be seen dead using anything other than roof prisms!
So do your bins say that you're:
Slavishly following fashion
Prepared to pay for the best no matter what the cost
Happy to be part of the 'club,' using similar kit to everyone else
Not bothered, so long as they help you to see the birds
Other kit can say a lot about you, but clothing changes with the weather (usually - although I do once remember a mate wearing full Barbour Jacket/wellies, etc., whilst walking along the beach on a sunny Bank Holiday with sun-bathers all around!).
Telescopes get a lot of use but when not being looked through they're often packed away inside an anonymous stay-on case which is slung out of sight over the shoulder or across the back.
In fact, they're carried whilst binoculars are worn, close to the heart, like jewellery.
So any opinions - either serious or frivolous!
