    10x low light binoculars for around €1000 ?

    If Zeiss had a 10x50 conquest, that would be the one. But the 10x56 is way too bulky and heavy to me. The SLC 10x56 would be more in consideration. But still, too big for my taste. Again, a SLC 10x50 would fit the bill as well. :) 1000 gram is where I have drawn the line.

    10x low light binoculars for around €1000 ?

    They do not have to be the best low light glass. I will mostly use them at dark days or at dusk, replacing my NL 10x32. So I still think a Habicht 10x40 will be a good option. I like the style and the looks of it. The more 3D view through porro's is a nice feature as well. I haven't looked...

    I am sorry. What do you mean exactly? What is exactly the dager you are talking about? Ich verstehe es nicht. Entschuldigung. 🤷‍♂️

    10x low light binoculars for around €1000 ?

    I am still curious about the Conquest 10x42 as well. I've read it is a bright pair of binoculars, brighter than the 90% transmission suggests. The FOV of 115mm is nice as well. Any Conquest 10x42 fans around here?

    10x low light binoculars for around €1000 ?

    Thanks for sharing. That looks like a nice option as well! The looks are nice as well. For me that is important as well ;). How is the view? I am afraid I am a bit spoiled with my two swarovski's. Will I still enjoy and grab binoculars which are optically less strong? You are a binocollecter...

    A porro would be nice. That's why I am leaning towards the Habicht 10x40. The Habicht 7x42 could be interesting as well, but then, it is 7 power instead of 10. I will send an e-mail to Swarovski to make a Habicht 10x50 or SLC 10x50 ;) So for 50mm porro's Nikon is the brand I assume.

    10x low light binoculars for around €1000 ?

    Many people consider a 7x42 as being a low light binocular. Is 6mm EP really that much of a difference compared with the 5.25mm EP of a 8x42? You will loose some magnification, so I am reluctant...

    10x low light binoculars for around €1000 ?

    Yes, I do. Unless people say: a 10x42 Conquest is better in low light, but I doubt that. A 10x54 or 10x56 would be nice for owls and woodcocks I bet. But you are right, I would only use it once a year for that I think. But deer, boar, beavers or otters... I think I will use it more for the...

    10x low light binoculars for around €1000 ?

    My theory was: 10x32, 8x42 (because of the 5.25mm EP) would cover all my needs. (A 10x50 or 10x54 has about the same EP) I actually still think it does. But then, there is a desire for more...

    10x low light binoculars for around €1000 ?

    Well, I am not really looking for the best low light binoculars I think. It's just that on dull days or at dawn/dusk, when my 10x32 doesn't really shine, I have to take my 8x42 and allways have the feeling I miss a 10 power. I have been thinking selling the 8x42, but than I am afraid I will...

    10x low light binoculars for around €1000 ?

    Good day, I am saving up for a 10 power low light binoculars for around €1000. Secondhand is an option as well. What would you suggest? I do not wear glasses, so the Habicht 10x40 would be an option. I am also thinking of the Zeiss Conquest 10x42. Which one would be better for low light...
