Thread: What Binoculars are you using?

However after suffering a cheap pair of binos for 20+ years now the animals seem to look like they are "highlighted"thru the El's.

I’ve had the same problem with my Leica’s lost the end caps easily and are quite bulky, especially when I spend +80% of my time bush hunting deer. Tahr, Chamois and quad bike or big open country its a different story that’s when the Geovid’s or Swarovski equivalent rule.
If I had some spare coin a nice small CL 8x25 Swaro’s would be nice for doing the bush hobbit thing.
