Hi Brian,
An amazingly good bargain in binoculars is the Vortex 8 x 42 Diamondhead. I cannot sing its passes highly enough. It is an excellent birdwatching binocular at only about $250 with all the features of very expensive binoculars and better than any other
people's binoculars I have actually tried. 8 x is really all you need as you have excellent field of view which is just as important as magnification for bird watching. 8 x 42 is what the Defence Forces issue. Vortex have also 10 x 42 in Diamondhead which
i am sure would be fine and also more expensive models than Diamondhead but mine is fantastic. Amazing as all that is, they also have FULL LIFETIME NO QUESTIONS ASKED GUARANTEE, irrespective of damage. dropped, submerged, scratched, run over or whatever. Amazing.
If the higher priced models are better, I find it hard to improve on what I have.
Regards
John

As a person newly interested in watching birds, would anyone like to give me some advice on purchasing some suitable binoculars.
What sort of binoculars, whether there is a particular brand or model you recommend and where best to buy them.
I'm not expecting to use them too regularly and therefore don't want a top of the range expensive pair.
