hello
Im looking for quality, compact binocular, something like 8x40. I will use it on my boat, so it should be water proof, maybe with some protection and etc... My target price is 150$ and under.
I like this one

Who manufactures them?
Can anybody suggest me something ? Something that produced at Japan, USA or Europe.
thanks |

Hi
Never going to happen at that price. You will need to get $300 plus to see something made in Japan and much more to get something made in Europe. Everything at $150 is made in China, including the Action Extreme. This will certainly work, well, but you are going to need to spend much more if you don't want a binocular to say made in China.

| OK, I understand. Maybe you suggest me something more quality for this (150) price, maybe something better that this Nicon ? |
