High power binos?
« on: August 23, 2008, 09:20:56 PM »
hey guys im a big fan of high power binos vs. a spotting scope for the sole purpose of that i can sit and look through binos for a long time and not get a headache that i get with a scope. the only set back that i really have a problem with is that most binos of any quality that i see around are only 20X, i was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on a good set of binos with maybe a little more that 20X. i do understand that binos are a little more bulky but i can deal with that. any advice will be greatly appreciated, and i am looking at spending somewhere between $500-$800 thanks guys

Anything over about 15x would require huge objective lenses and would weigh a ton! Good resolution is more important than magnification. I've heard these Minox binos are the best bang for the buck:
