BINOCULARS

Good afternoon everyone.
As I have mentioned. We plan to purchase a Lance 1172 next spring. And just thinking about what we wan to carry with u.
Yesterday we were exploring in the Withlacoochee State Forest here in central FL. Brenda spotted some large birds up the creek. Well the binoculars that I had with me were not very good. They were given to me. We finally decided that they were Sandhill cranes all puffed up because of the cold breeze.
So we thought we needed to get a better par.
We do not know anything about binoculars
Was wondering what all you folks are using?

  • How much are you willing to spend? Good binocs are in the $1000-$3000 range.
  • Optics have come a long way, compared to the inexpensive throwaway types we all have used at some point.

    I found a great binocular years ago, that are high quality, and have given years of service, but still as good as the day I bought them.

    Pentax 8x42 DCF WP
