"I personally don't think you can tell a damn thing about binoculars by looking through them in a store. I believe you need to get them outside at distance in different lighting condition. Every binocular that's not complete junk will look pretty good in a store."Every bino has a different feel, ergonomics, focus, eye relief etc. That's what I meant by a test drive--if I was hellbent on spending a few grand, I would shop around in person and at the very least get my hands on a few different models.
I shopped around--even bought a pair sight unseen (no pun) based on other "expert" opinions --which I returned the next week. I loved the image of the Zeiss Conquest--however, the eye relief would not work for my eyes. I also liked the McKinley's. However, the eyecups did not fit my face. I did not think the 'rolling ball' effect existed until I looked through the Swaros for about 5 minutes. That's why I passed on all of them when I shopped. . |
