Binoculars

Miguel · Guest

So what I want to buy some binoculars and I do not decide, I wish for hunting and wildlife observation:

-- Nikon Monarch 8x42
-- SELECT Burris Signature 10x42
-- Elite e2 Bushnell 8x42
-- Kow 10x42 DCF

Hi

For boating, do not exceed 8x for the sake of image steadiness. 10x is too much for a boat.

Any 8x42 waterproof will work for almost any binocular application. Of those, I would rate the Bushnell E2 as my first choice in terms of optics.

They are for hunting and birding.

Hi

Really your choice as to magnification, but an 8x42 will offer a wider field of view, more steadiness and slightly better image brightness than a 10x42

Yes, but that's not the issue. The question is which of these binoculars are better

Sponxx · Guest

Miguel, she already said the Bushnell e2 are the better ones. Even if not for boating.

Hi

Yes, I would rate the E2 as the best of these.
