Hi all, first post. I need to pick up some binos for an upcoming trip and don't have a lot of time to research -- please help me out.
Cap is low $200s, so no Zeiss or Swarovski. I often end up deep in the mountains backpacking, so I want something lightweight + compact and durable with good low light capabilities.
My little research thus far led me to the Leupold BX-2 Acadia 8 X 42 or Nikon Prostaff 7S 8 X 30 or 10 X 4. I also see that there are a lot of Bushnells in the price range. I'm open to used binos, but in my camera lenses, I have tended towards new, multi-coated stuff for the low light improvements.
Please lend me your expertise for a moment.
