TONY R Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) In that price range i would look at some seeadler Dwcfs. I have a pair had then a few years now, They are not as good as my leicas but they are not that money either.

Andy RV Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Carl Zeiss Jenoptem, approx. £100 for a decent used pair from eBay. Beats the Chinese rubbish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savhmr Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Minox BV 8 x 32, Steiner Skyhawks or Vanguard Endeavour EDs (I've done a full write up on another forum on a list of mid priced binos that I've recently reviewed). I have an excellent pair of Vanguard Platinums in the classifieds too in case you're interested at less than half price Edited May 31, 2016 by Savhmr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samboy Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hi all. I need a good pair of 8 x 36 of the above that dont cost a fortune. About £200 max. Any ideas chaps ?. Thanks all. After much thought i have decided to get a pair of Minox BL 8 x 33 HD. About £340. Hope i'm doing the right thing. But after much looking at different Bino's its driving me mad.

But after much looking at different Bino's its driving me mad. They're very good indeed but don't write off the cheaper 8 x 44 ones which optically are almost as good for less and are better as the light dips. The Minox BV 8 x 44 are a fantastic buy at under £300 the pair. I tried some recently and was very impressed. PM on its way with info.
