Bino's

Post by Traveler »

Ek wil vir my 'n redelik vol grootte verkyker aanskaf. Iets van ten minste 10x vergroting.

Enige aanbevelings?

Natuurlik is daar 'n begroting ter sprake. :x

Die Nikon 10x50 Action Bino's is vir my 'n goeie waarde vir geld R999, kyk hier http://www.fotodiscountworld.com/catalo ... =188_28_67 hulle het ook 'n 10-22x50 Zoom vir R1299 maar vir hom sal jy 'n driepoot moet gebruik. Ek het self 'n Nikon 8x40 action en ek is baie tevrede.

Tans is die Bushnell H20 bo aan my lysie: http://www.bushnell.com/products/binoculars/h2o/151042/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Ek sou graag iets wou kry met 'n 5.5mm exit pupil.

Ek het ook eers al die tegniese goeters bestudeer maar die toets wat vir my die deurslag gegee het was toe ek die binos met mekaar vergelyk het. Probeer om iewers uit te kom waar hulle die Binos op jou kortlys het sodat jy hulle met mekaar kan vergely deur na dieselfde landskap of voorwerp te kyk. Ek het ook 'n 10x50 Bushnell soortgelyk aan die powerview, hy is ook nie sleg nie, die beeld van die Nikon is net vir my skerper en helderder.

Sterkte met jou keuse.

Many years ago I started my working life as a photographic salesman, we sold many different makes of bino, including Nikon and Bushnells... but after doing a practical test it was the Pentax 10x50 that blew the others way, with excellent detail and easy viewing...

I'm not sure what they cost there days, more info can be found here, 10x50's:

And a nice site to get idea of comparative pricing:

Choice has been made. And I'll have them in July when my friend visits from Maryland.

As set of Steiner's Merlins.

Ok, so I got it. http://www.opticsplanet.net/steiner-mer ... s-430.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Excellent. Used (for about 30 seconds) on Saturday at Lion and Rhino Park, the optics are crystal clear and super sharp.

Om so deur 'n bino vir goet tekyk is so goed jy kyk dit op TV, jy het mos 'n Hilux ry tot waar jy wil kyk en as ny baie naby wil kyk klim uit en gaan vat daar aan.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Anders as dit het ek nie raad oor bino's nie.

Die ry tot by die dinge met die Hilux werk nou nie so lekker as hulle vlieg nie, en ook nie wanneer ek jag nie. Maar res van die tyd werk dit nogal lekker. :mrgreen:
