I only use Oberwerk binos. Simply the best.
At basically all the price points I prefer the Nikon to the Zeiss because of the feel, optically I can't tell the difference between them. The Swarovski ones have some kind of magic happening because there is a clear optical difference between them and all the others, which is why all the professional birders I know have them.
Try the stabilized ones… trust me…
Dizzamn, drooling at those Swarovski’s.
Swarovski makes the best binoculars while Kowa the best spotting scopes.
Srbc ,5/600 bucks with 2/3.000 lenses…..
Don’t, nope, nope. Ok go ahead but my wife already saw this and said nope!
I havent been warching your videos for a long time and I see you look great loosing weight man. keep well.
I sell binoculars in Germany, my all time favorite are the Swarovski NL Pure 10×32
They come in at a similar price point as the bigger EL series, while being optically superior to every other Binocular I was able to lay my hands on.
Dont try the NL Pure series unless you want to buy them. Everything else doesnt feel right after you used them😂
Nothing beats a good pair of Binocs. Not for nothing.. back in the day Nikon used to make some of the best Rifle Scopes in the Business. I'm down for some more Bino Content.
Thanks Matt.
For me, do you really get more out of that extra $1000-1300? Can you see what you're looking at with the Nikons for $1K, if so, then spend the remainder on a lens to photograph what you've seen. I have Nikon Action EX 8×40 and they're more than good enough for what I need as a guide in Africa. Maybe I'll invest in slightly smaller one day but I don't find the need for outrageously expensive binos.
I love my Zeiss conquest 10x42s …Put me outside with them and it’s better than any TV. Can spend hours looking through them
Canon image stabilising binoculars changed my viewing life. Utter game changer for me.
I'd be interested, yes – although I just recently replaced a pair of damaged Nikon Sporter 8×42 with the current Prostaff P3s (both in the sub-200 EUR range …) Where they excel is eye relief (I wear glasses).
For anyone looking for a pocketable "EDC" model, try the Pentax/Ricoh AD 8×25 WP.
I have the Nikon ones. They are nice (and I am a Nikon fan boy). The Swarocski with AI sounds very nice, but I assume you will get such in a few years for a couple of hundred bucks
Sure, some more comprehensive birding binocular reviews would be welcome, but if possible please include also slightly cheaper options in the evaluation.
I just bought the regular Nikon binoculars for less than $300. I love them. They work great in the day and night.
Yess do it
AI is interesting, but what I really want is good infra-red!
