I am looking for a pair of binoculars. Ones that will last me a long long time. I have read that viking vistons and opticron imagics porro prisms are good and I am trying to decide which to buy or if indeed I should buy either.
I am going to use them for everyday birdwatching so I am going to get 8x40's. Any other suggestions for binoculars will be noted but it is very important that they have the following features.
Waterproof
Closefocus (3m or less)
Rubber armouring
Good quality bright image
Decent field of view
Please let me know what you think. I have tried both in a shop but they both seemed the same I don't know how they will fair in poor light.
I've been led to believe that the opticrons will have better quality image but the viking vistrons will be more durable. which do you think are best.
