can only go on my experience but £19 more than you budget
I boughts Minox 8x42 BV from london camera exchange for £169. Am very happy with them.
As with previous posts though - its all personal so look around and get to handle as many as you can. Buy the ones that feel best for you.
regards

it depends on what you are going to be watching with them...
as you know binoculars all come in different sizes and prices and quite frankly there are a lot of people out there who just want to make money ...
just go out to a good shop where they sell a good range of binos and try out as many as you can get hold of...
take your time ,dont get rushed by someone who wants a quick sale , and pick up each one and try them out ...
get the one that you feel comfortable with (not too heavy , with a good field of view ) .. and for gods sake dont get into these pointless ones that are gas filled , water proofed to 20 meters and you can drop them off a 10 story building .
good luck |

Hi Stephen. The one piece of advice I would give would be...don't consider any bino's that aren't nitrogen filled. Far from being pointless, they will make using them a pleasure when the conditions are less than perfect. Of course, if you only use your bins on warm sunny days...then no prob's. If you can find a pair of second hand Hawk Frontier ED's, for around £150.00, then happy days. You'll love em!! Wizzo

I bought a pair of these a few months ago: 7dayshop.com - Online Store
Being 42mm OG they're not a bright as my 10x50 Lidyl Bressers, but they're waterproof and nitrogen filled.
