Hey everyone,
I'm looking for some recommendations on a pair of binoculars for travel. I'd like to stick to the 8x magnification. Price isn't really an issue, though I won't spend 3k for the NL Pures. While they are beautiful glass, for whatever reason the Pure line gives me serious rolling ball effect. I have a pair of ELs (current year model) and they don't make me sick at all. The Pures do. So all recommendations are on the table with the exception of the Pures.
My only criteria is that I want a top quality pair, something of quality. I like to buy once cry once, so I'd rather buy something I'm really happy with than to compromise. I've been giving the CL line a serious look, I just can't find much about the specs (coating, type of glass, etc.) I've looked through a pair of the 8x30s and I really like them. Do the CLs have any serious competition from any other brands (Zeiss, Leica, Nikon, etc.)?
I currently own a Swarovski EL 8.5x42 and an SLC 10x42.
Thanks!
Paul
