I am considering buying a new binocular, hoping to upgrade from my current Swarovski 8x30 SLC that I bought new in 1996.
My primary use is for birding.
One that I am seriously considering is the Vortex Razor HD. I would probably go with the 8x42. It would be better certainly in at least having a closer focusing distance and larger exit pupil but beyond that I am not sure how much of an improvement it would be if any.
I would appreciate some feedback on the Vortex compared to my Swarovski and any other new binocular I should consider. Thanks!
