Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Think I'll try an 8x binocular.

I see your into name brand optics! You are "Zeissman" !

I like upscale scopes and bino's also however I have found less expensive ones suitable as well.

As a senior, older than you, I have good eyesight and find the resolution of my Leupold 8X binos and others good and competitive with my Hensoldt 8X's.

I would not spend Zeiss $$$ on small binos. To each his own on this as the eye doctor asks us "which is better, A or B?"

The Leupold 8X to 12X switch power bino's I got are my favorites. Here they are:



8X is not quite enough when the distances are way out there. 12X is better. I can hold the 12X steady enough.

The 8X Leupold Wind Rivers have been durable and good, my son's Pentax are good as well. The Hensoldt 8X56 Nacht Dialyts are good, expensive, heavy and big.
