I've had some ultravids in the past, both the 8-12 x 42 and an 8x32. I personally didn't like them. I think it was the yellow tint they seemed to give to everything. I really didn't find them to be "all that" in picture quality either. Partly why I know optics are personal choices.
I don't want to lug 10's and 15's....I have used 8x, 10x, 12x, and some 16's in the past. All tripod mounted as well. I can handhold the 12's well enough, and they give me just that little bit I am always looking for. I still have an old pair of nikon 12x42's which have seen better days. I just want a solid 12x50 to go along with my spotter. I really don't consider 12's as big eyes either...they start at 15 and 18x imho.
Thank you Doug. A bit out of my reach at the moment I think. Unless maybe I ask for Christmas in September!
If my binos would sell in the classifieds I'd be closer to the buy too.....lol...
