new binos need some help

[pianoman9701]

Wholy crap you guys like your bino's! Cant imagine spending $600 on a set of bino's, where the hell did the idea that you cant get good binos for less than $600 come from? I wouldent and havent spent more than $200 on a set. They only look at stuff far away they dont have to take the recoil of a .50 BMG 

I felt the same way until I spent $500 on a pair of HD binos. There's no comparison to cheaper glass. Your eyes see easier, especially for long periods of time. You can distinguish more in low light. I simply can't go back to cheap glass after having used better.

If I lost my binos today, regardless of how much I'd be covered by insurance, I wouldn't spend less than about $1,000 on a replacement. And no, I'm not made of money.

Some individuals may not be able to discern a difference between $200 binoculars and $1000 binoculars but most can, particularly in dim light or extended glassing sessions. A quick glance through a pair at the optics counter may not show much difference.

I would mirror Bob's thoughts & add edge to edge clarity is lacking from the 200.00 glass in comparison to 600.00 glass. 200.00 glass lacks ED /HD as well where these can be found in 400.00 to 500.00 glass & up. Most hunters do not notice these things until they are needed. (grin)

I can tell the difference its just not worth 3 of 4 time the money to me, I use my stuff and as a rule of stuff getting used (especially while hunting) stuff breaks or gets lost. I would rather break or loose a set of $200 binos than a $1000 set. I would rather spend big bucks on a spotting scope or a rifle scope. Sorry my stuff doesn't stay in the truck and I'm not a stump hunter 

PS: That was a joke, nobody should get all twisted up about it

If you can tell the difference and it's not worth it, I suggest you don't use them very much and for very long. Spend big bucks on Vortex binos and get an unconditional guarantee if they break. That's another difference between cheap and expensive glass - you're covered. If you lose it, maybe you need a better harness.

I think it depends on your hunting style as well. You may not need a pair of binos at all on an Arizona Unit 9 bull elk hunt, where the unit is mostly flat. Also, if you can't sit still for more than  few minutes of your time, an $300 pair of glass might do you just fine. Me? I seek out a tall mountain a mile or two from any road and if I know its a good area, I'll be on top of that mountain all day. You will notice a different between middle market and top shelf glass after several hours.

As far as fear of loss, I have a personal articles insurance policy on my glass, so even if I loose them, I am covered.
