I want to buy one binoculars with good quality and good price (1 Viewer)

I want to buy one binoculars with good quality and good price? Can anyone give me some suggestions? Thx🙂

Very general question. Hundreds of binocular models fulfil these conditions. So please be more specific:

• What is your intended use?
• How high are your quality standards?
• What is a "good" price for you, especially: how high is your budget?

BINOCULARS SUITED FOR GENERAL USE AND NOT SO EXPENSIVE AND WITH GOOD OTICAL PERFORMANCE:

• GPO Passion ED 8x32 or 8x26SD
• Kowa BD11 6,5x32 XD
• Kite Lynx 8x30HD

I second the Kowa BDII 6.5x32 - I have it and think its a great value, it performs admirably well, its has the widest FOV you can get
(except for some exotic 4-figure options), and its compact and sturdy;

I think that the Vortex Diamondback 8x32 is also a surprising performer/value and it comes in at a lower price.

I think that the Maven B.3 in either 6x30 or 8x30 are worth a look as well.

For my personal tastes/features/etc, anything that beats the ones listed here are considerably more expensive: Conquest, SFL, NL.

Let me be the first to spread the typical wisdom shared here:
try before you buy, we're all unique, and among all of the options, what appeals to you will differ from many others.

First of all try before buy. Thats most important. I have GPO Passion 8x32, very nice bin. I also have opticron verano 8x42 and its very good.

42mm will give you better light gathering
if you are observing in low light areas
if you can tolerate the extra weitht
bu if possible always try before buying

I found the Fujinon HC 8x42 as well as the Meopta Meopro Air 8x42 for around 500€ each. Best bargain IMHO.

The Kowa YF II 8x30 at $120 is a hard value to beat.

Thank you for your reply. I want to use it to observe birds. I hope it can be as clear as possible. The budget is $200.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Yes, but the weight kind of put me off buying the 42mm.

For relatively inexpensive binoculars with good optics you should consider 8x32 or 8x42 binoculars from the Kowa BD II (also 6.5x32), Vortex Diamondback, or Athlon Midas lines. From personal experience Vortex has a phenomenal repair service should your binoculars fail on you.

 

[Sancho]

Opticron do some very nice models in your price range, Antony. Also consider Nikon Action EX.

 

[Jinac]

Svbony SV202 or SA205 seems good for your range of price

 

[Antony kong]

Svbony SV202 或 SA205 似乎适合你的价格范围

是的，我正在考虑买一个

天虎光学! Their Banner Cloud is beyond your budget,but they do more inexpensive models, and if you are in China you won't have to pay customs duties!
