Beno Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Looking at getting a rangefinder but got the nagging felling should spend more money and treat my self to a pair of rangfinding binos, currently go a pair of minox hg which are brilliant was thinking of getting a the ziess prf rangefinder but how well does this cope under the lamp and how accurate is it in such conditions? Or option 2 is to splash out and get a pair of ziess rangfinding binos What do you guys prefer separate rangefinder or combo as weight must be an issue if you have them around your neck all day?

Vipa Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 RF binos aren't significantly heavier than the equivalent non RF version. The Zeiss ones are superb, as are the Leicas... personally didn't like the feel of the new Swaro's in the hand although I'm sure they are as good as they always are. Far more practical to have the two functions combined.. you spot something you press the button, you have a range.. no messing about swapping between gadgets or remembering to pack and then having to carry 2 items. As for weight round the neck... wouldn't know.. wouldn't use bins for a long period without a harness... I forget they are there 30 secs after putting them on In conclusion... if you can afford it, get the binos with built in RF... you won't regret it!

Beardo Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I've only got a 'relatively cheap' pair of Bushnell Fusion 1600's but I love having both in one box. As above a good harness is essential as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
