    Binoculars 8x32 or similar

    Gidday fullas.

    Looking to spend up to $1200 on a pair of 8x32 or similar, 8x36? maybe 8x42 but best glass and lighter more important for the money. Currently about to order the Tract 8x42 but really bigger than what I want. Anyone have/know of a pair of Binoc's to meet the above? Cant afford the better Zeiss or other Euro's.

    Cheers Jeff

    Look at the Kowa open box specials here. Good optics. Compact and light.

    Got a good pairing of 8x30 SLCs here I’d sell for under your budget.

    Are you in NZ or Oz presently?

    Those Swaro 8x30 SLC's that Dicko's offering might be a good way to go. They'll hold their value and the build quality & glass will be tops.

    Have a pair of 8 x32 GPO's as a nice lightweight pair when don't want to take 10 x 42's. Handy in the boat as well.

    Owl optics Whangarei will look after you.
