| 1412221 | 2015-12-02 02:31:00 | Anyone any suggestions for some good small binoculars? I have my faithful 10x50’s but I’d like something I could put in my pocket as opposed to hanging around my neck. I realise this might be a bit of an ask, but thought I’d enquire anyway. :thanks |

| 1412222 | 2015-12-02 02:39:00 | Actually those tiny cheap 8 or 10x binoculars with the straight tube construction are surprisingly good. They have a narrower field of view but work well. Mine are just cheap generic ones from the warehouse or something for around $20 and I tested them by looking around the shop. Easily fit in a pocket. Of course so does my camera with it's 20 x zoom | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1412223 | 2015-12-02 02:52:00 | +1 I have two sets of 'compact' binoculars, a pair from Kathmandu and a second cheapie set that I bought when I'd forgotten to take the first pair. There is really nothing to choose between them, but I prefer the cheapies because they don't have as much tinting on the optics. So go figure! Try some of the cheapies and you'll probably buy on the spot. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
