Don't know how to choose a binocular.....

what should I look for?
8x32? 8x20?
how heavy is it would be reasonable?

is there any offer?
I guess around $2500 would be my affordable limit.

thank you :wink:

I am also using an olympus 8 x 42 EXWPI ($1570), very good performance.

I checked the price in MongKok...it is 1580....and the 10X42....is 2280...
it seems to be overpriced.......

I check on the internet....people talk about Olympus EXWPI....
possible to get a 10X42 at around 1600??
the price really varies!! :shock:

where should I go to buy the bino? :roll:
