ndawild Report post Posted January 26, 2010 I need some expert opinions on binos. Zeiss 10x40's or Vortex Razor 12x50's which pair would you guys go with? Thanks for the advice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chef Report post Posted January 26, 2010 Will you be wearing these mostly around your neck for hand held scanning? On a tripod? Quality between the two not being an issue, the magnification is of concern. It's tough to hold 12 power stable when hand held, even the 10 power comes alive on a tripod. Strictly hand held= 10x Tripod= 12x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted January 26, 2010 In 10x, I'd choose the Zen-Ray 10x43 ED2 for a great optical view at less $$. Doug at CameraLand said he may begin carrying them, or you can order directly from Zen-Ray. If you bowhunt or hunt elk or muleys in the timber more, I'd go with something in 6X to 8X. If you hunt open mountains, I'd get two pair, 10X and 15X. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ndawild Report post Posted January 26, 2010 I have the Zeiss 10x40's all ready but am wanting something a little more powerful. I do use the 10's on a tripod i know the 15's are great but i dont want to pack the extra weight. Thanks for the replys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted January 26, 2010 If you are concerned about the weight, consider a pair of Leica 10+15 Duovids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
