Binocular
Hi!
I'm looking for a news group for binoculars if not, I'm trying to decide witch of the three model is the best quality to purchase. I like the outdoors, it has to be fog and waterproof, good optics and durable. I'm looking at three different models to choose from, like Bushnell Lengend or Trophy and Nikon Monarch. The Trophy is less money then the other two models. All three model are 8+42 but never tried the Nikon because it's not in stock yet, but the dealer said it's comming soon. I wondered if anybody have any experience with all three models. Thanks Eric D. |

The requirements are a bit more stringent for astronomy, but any pair of good astro binoculars would make a good pair of terrestrial binoculars.

I wondered if anybody have any experience with all three models. In general, you want to look for fully (i.e., every air to glass surface) multi-coated optics. The web sites mentioned above will explain the differences in prism types (roof vs. porro) and prism glass (Bk7 vs. Bak4), and the trade offs involved. The Nikons should be nice, if a bit pricey. I'm definitely not impressed with Bushnell telescopes, so I probably wouldn't buy their binoculars. Canon, Celestron, Pentax, and Minolta also make nice binocluars. -- Brian Reynolds | "It's just like flying a spaceship. | You push some buttons and see http://www.panix.com/~reynolds/ | what happens." -- Zapp Brannigan NAR# 54438 | |
