I have just returned from an excellent local shop in Norwich - vey helpful - where I tried a range of bins including Leica BN, Zeiss FL etc etc. But I explained that these are out of my price range, so I also tried RSPB and Viking. Now don't laugh, but I reckon the Viking GR 8x45 were excellent. They just seemed to suit me, unlike, for example, the 8x32 where I got odd 'blackout' effects. They seemed just as good as the expensive ones, except perhaps the Zeiss which were exceptionally bright.
One effect I noticed, and it's not easy to explain, is that as soon as you put them up to your eyes the image is there. Most of the expensive bins were like that but some of the less others were not.
OK, so I know a £249 bin is not the greatest but to my untrained eye it looked just as good as the posh ones. And it felt just right for me.
So, I would be extremely interested to hear any comments on these bins?
Thanks
