A friend, who is a casual birder, is looking for advice on buying new
binoculars. Here's his message. What do you think? Reply either
privately to me, or on the list.
... i've had a hankering for some waterproof
binoculars that i could use while kayaking/canoeing. they must be
submersible. any ideas how to research this? i would prefer something
economical, say less than $200; but might consider something more expensive.
REI has some for around $150; Audubon Naturalist Soc. for more like $400.
it would also be best if they were compact (light weight) like my other
binoculars.
Thanks,
Steve |
