Hey Guys and Gals,
Looking for a decent pair of pocket binos.
My binos have gotten smaller and smaller over the years and I have been using 8x32 for the last several years.
The progression was ugly: 56, 50, 42, 40 and then 32.
The 32’s I am using now are MORE than adequate - ZenRay - and the glass is superior. Think they have gone out of business now but they made awesome glass.
I am looking at and thinking about the Zeiss Terra 8x25. The reviews are great, which you expect from Zeiss - and I know this is their low end line.
Anyone had any dealings with Zeiss Terra in general and in 25mm lenses from any manufacturer specifically.
At $350 they are a reasonable buy.
I looked at 8x28’s from several manufacturers but the size difference between them and my 32’s is not appreciable.
The 32’s are awesome but they won’t drop into a slash pocket.
Also, I would prefer 6x but this seems to be a very forgotten glass offering?
I am wide open for comments, suggestions and thoughts in general.
