I was going to get a Fujinon FMTR 7x50 as I have started to do a bit of low light viewing, foxes and badgers and trying to find otters (failed so far) as the light fades, and also i've been doing a bit more stargazing (very casually)!!
But being the opposite of a collector, I thought they would spend most of their time sat idle, which will annoy me, as they are not 'general binos'
So instead of spending £700 on a pair that won't see too much use, i decided to try to a more general pair, to see if I could get one pair fits all. And a cheaper all round option too!!
So I found a 'just serviced by East Coast binoculars' Zeiss HT8x42, mint unmarked optics, very very light handling marks on body. Great price....box, bag and strap all present and already marked a bit, so no need to be too precious!!
I loved my Conquest 8x42's so thought these a good punt.
First impressions mirror my memory from a while ago....
Crazy bright and super sharp. I like the slightly heavy weight (800g), like my old Meoptas, it helps steady the image.
They feel nice, just got them, but good so far!!
