Youngest son wants to bird watch. I would like to get him a
reasonably decent pair of binoculars without breaking the bank.
Since this august group has such a diverse range of experience, I
was wondering if anyone here had experience with such and would be
willing to share.
Thank you,
Dan
Optics generally have the price/quality nearly linear.
Tasco used to be a decent tradeoff price/quality at the low-mid end.
If you could find a set of prewar to 1943 Mfgr german binocs, the
quality would be as good as any.
Zeiss was always considered one of the top end.
How much $$$ or $$$$ do you want to spend? (willing to)
my 3-9x scope made a good monolular. I set it to 9 when I got it 50
yrs ago and rarely moved it. Having the monocular attached to a long
object that can be held with both hands and steadied against a tree
makes the higher powers more usable.
generally 6- 8x is about as high as you can go without a steady rest
of some form.
