I will be going to down to work in the Portland Outdoor show and have saved up enough US money to purchase a good pair of bino's. I am looking at Leica, Swarovski, Leupold, Zeiss, Kahles, Minox or any other top end. Price will be up to $1700 us but there is always deals.
I am looking for people's input into why and what they like or dislike about their bino's. The main purpose will be for guiding, glassing mountains for sheep, goats and deer and timber hunting. I am looking at 10x and 40-42 mm objective. I am not looking for 4lbs 15+ power spotting glasses.
Any opinions will be gladly recieved.
Thanks
