#1. Zeiss Victory SF 10x42 Black - Immersive views with revolutionary ergonomics
In building the Victory SF, Zeiss decided to start over from scratch and design a brand new binocular. Their goal was to create the best binocular
in the world for nature viewing and we feel they clearly accomplished this goal.
Zeiss Victory SF 10x42 T* Binoculars bring upgraded features to the Victory SF line. The focusing system is smoother and more precise; the twist
up eyecups have an added click stop; and the armoring is now black. Otherwise, the optics and the ergonomics remain the same. The 10x SF's
field of view is still an enormous 360' at 1000 yards, close focus is still 4.9', and the ErgoBalance Concept yields the same fatigue-reducing
balance. Focus from close focus to infinity takes only 1.9 turns.
One of the best things about the Victory SF is its lightweight and ergonomic design. The Victory SF is a top choice for long days of bird
viewing at a distance. The Victory has a field view of 360 ft. at 1000 yards making you feel one with nature. The "Smart Focus" feature
gives users the ability to rapidly focus on fast moving objects at a distance without losing clarity so you never miss a moment.
Ultra-Fluoride lens system with 92% light transmission delivers bright, clear images, even in low-light situations. Victory SF's nitrogen
filled barrels prevent internal fogging making them waterproof, long lasting and durable.
Fluoride Glass: Enhances resolution, color and contrast.
Fully Multi-Coated Lenses: Increase light transmission with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces.
Phase Correction: Enhances resolution and contrast through roof prisms.
Fog Proof: Barrels are filled with nitrogen gas to inhibit internal fogging.
Waterproof: Optics are sealed with O-rings to prevent moisture, dust, and debris from getting inside the binocular.
LotuTec® Lens Coating: Repels water and residue on outer glass surfaces.
Roof Prisms: Appreciated for a streamlined shape and durability.
Rubber Armoring: Provides a secure, non-slip grip.
Multi-position Eyecups: Twist up and down for comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses.
Center Focus Wheel: Adjusts both binocular barrels at the same time.
Right Eye Diopter: Adjusts for differences in a user's eyes and located by the center focus wheel.
History and more about Zeiss and what makes the Victory SF the leader in optic gear binoculars.
Zeiss is a German company that has been making binoculars for over 120 years. They also make eyeglass lenses, camera and movie lenses, large
telescope lenses, planetariums, and medical equipment. So you are getting the top of the line from those who are top of the line in their business.
Better balance: The SF's prism system was changed from the Abbe Koenig system of the Victory HT to the Schmidt Pechan prism
system. This gave a complete new design in the optics so that there is more weight in the eyepiece end and less in the objective end. This shifts the
center of gravity toward the eyes, giving the SF perfect balance.
State of the Art Material: The Victory SF has an armor-coated magnesium chassis making it lightweight but durable, making the SF
more binocular for less weight.
Smart Focus: With the new prism system, your index finger can reach the focus knob in a natural position without having to angle to
the side. It's comfortable. Providing a perceptibly better focusing experience.
Triple Bridge Design: This design is open bridge for lighter weight and improved handling. The Zeiss has three bridge hinges instead
of two. This adds strength without significantly adding weight and helps keep the barrels in alignment. The bridge spacing also allows more room for
your fingers, and you have more choice in where you grip. Overall it is a much more comfortable fit than any other binocular currently available.
Image Immersion: This binocular offers three qualities that combined create the best immersion in the image 1. An extraordinarily wide
field of view of 360 feet at a distance of 1000 yards 2. Edge-to-edge sharpness in the image and 3. Long eye relief, for glasses wearers.
Protective Coating: The Victory SF exterior glass is coated with LotuTec®, to effectively repel water and grease. It also reduces
glare and reflections and makes the lens surface much more durable.
Zeiss Victory SF Warranty: All Zeiss binoculars purchased from authorized US dealers carry a transferable, limited lifetime warranty
against manufacturer's defects. The Victory SF binocular also carries a USA and Canada, non-transferable, 5-year "No Fault Policy" that covers damage
during normal and intended use, provided the binocular is registered within 60 days of purchase.

#2. Kowa 8x33 Genesis - The mid-sized version of Kowa's highest quality binoculars
Kowa 8x33 Genesis XD33 binoculars are a favorite of birders looking for an exceptional lightweight, mid-size binocular with a super-wide field
of view. They are made with four Kowa Prominar XD lens elements for incredibly bright, highly detailed images. These fully multi-coated binoculars
feature phase coated Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms, which are treated with Kowa's C3 reflective coating for maximum light transmission and vivid, distortion-free
images. The magnesium frames make them lightweight (under 21 ounces) but durable. Kowa Genesis 33 binoculars are also completely waterproof and internally fog-proof.
Kowa Genesis 33 binoculars are the mid-sized versions of Kowa's highest quality binoculars. Genesis 33 binoculars are made with Kowa's Prominar XD glass lens
elements which reduce chromatic aberration for a clearer, sharper view. Kowa Genesis 33 binoculars are compact, lightweight and very comfortable in the hands. What
these little Genesis binoculars provide is the optical performance of a high-end, full-sized binocular at a smaller size and, very importantly, at a smaller price. We
contend that Kowa Genesis 33 binoculars are a genuine case of less being more.

More about the Leica Trinovid HD
For the first time, the Leica Trinovid HD models are supplied complete with a new and innovative carrying strap (the adventure strap). The strap also serves
as a bag and ensures that the binoculars are perfectly protected and ready when you are. With a weight of only 25.75 oz and a length of 140mm, the new Trinovid
HD binoculars are extremely compact and are an equally ideal companion for bird watchers.
The benefits at a glance:
- Outstanding optical performance
- Compact and lightweight
- Extremely robust
- Perfect ergonomics
- Attractive design
- Excellent value for money
Quality binoculars are an investment, and if you want to enjoy the exceptional quality of the "big three" (Leica, Swarovski, and Zeiss), you typically must
be willing to spend. The price is not attributed just to the name but to the binoculars' more state of the art components and the craftsmanship involved by
skilled German and Austrian manufacturers. The innovations in glass technology have also raised the bar to almost "bionic" levels.
For those who can afford the higher price it IS well worth it but not everyone can, so recently, brands are striving for ways to offer models at lower prices
without losing their standards.
The $1,000 price point seems to be the norm for the majority of serious bird watchers.
With the new Trinovid HDs, Leica brings a very strong and affordable contender with premium offerings into the $1,000 market.
The Trinovid HDs feature the same sturdy, waterproof construction as the Noctivid but in a slightly lighter package. On a rainforest adventure, waterproof
bins are a must.
The Trinovid design offers several conveniences to the traveling birder, including a super close-focus (5.9 ft.), light weight (25.75 oz.), wide field of
view (414 ft.), and a compact size (length 5.5 in.).
They also include the unique new Adventure Strap. This innovative new strap also serves as a quick to use case for protection during storage and travel, an all-in-one
solution. Also included is a standard neck strap for those users preferring the more traditional carry system.

#6. Nikon Monarch HG 42mm - Nikon quality in a mid-priced binocular
Back when the most expensive binoculars sold for under $1000, mid-price was considered to be $500 or less. Today, with top end binoculars approaching
$3000, many people are calling the $1000 level “the new mid-price”. One of our favorites at the $1000 level is the Nikon Monarch HG series.
The Monarch HG series is a huge departure from other Nikon binoculars. Previous Nikon roof prism binoculars were either made of aluminum and weighed
in the high 20 ounces, or were made of polycarbonate, so they were light but less durable. The Monarch HGs have a magnesium alloy chassis, resulting
in a light but durable body weighing in the 24 oz. range. The body is waterproof and nitrogen purged. They can withstand a depth of 5m (16.4’) for
10 minutes.
The HGs are the first Nikon birding binoculars with a 2m (6.56’) close focus. All of the other Monarchs (Monarch 3, Monarch 5, and Monarch 7) have
close focus specs in excess of 2.5m (8.2’), making the HGs more useful for observing smaller things, like insects and wildflowers, that allow closer
approach.
Monarch HG binoculars provide bright, sharp views due to a wealth of modern features. The objective lenses are made of Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass.
The entire light path is fully multi-coated, and the BaK-4 roof prisms are phase corrected and dielectric coated, transmitting 92% of the light that
reaches the objective lenses to the viewer’s eyes. The eyepieces have field-flattener lenses which deliver edge-to-edge sharpness. The external lenses
also have scratch-resistant coatings.
ED Glass enhances color fidelity and reduces chromatic aberration
Dielectric and phase-correction prism coatings boost light transmission
Rubber armored magnesium alloy body is rugged yet lightweight
2-meter close focus improves studying insects or birds at your feet
Wide fields of view the 8x42 has 435’ at 1000 yds. and the 10x42 has 361’
Nikon’s Warranty
Nikon supports all Monarch binoculars with a lifetime, no fault warranty. We know of people whose Nikon binoculars had warranty issues after the
binoculars were discontinued. Nikon no longer had the parts to fix them, so they gave these people full refunds. That’s a warranty!

Case, neck strap, rainguard, and tethered objective covers.

#7. Celestron TrailSeeker ED 8x32 Binoculars - Amazing performance at this price level
Celestron added Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass to the objective lenses of their TrailSeeker binoculars and created a series called the TrailSeeker ED binoculars.
This 8x32 model is barely over a pound at 17.6 oz. The optics also feature BaK-4 prisms which are both phase- and dielectric-coated for improved contrast and light
transmission. Also contributing to these characteristics are multi-coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces. Celestron gets high marks for accomplishing these features
at such a low price point.
The TrailSeeker ED 8x32 has a generous 410' field of view at 1000 yards and can focus as closely as 6.5'. This combination is not only great for birding, but also for
butterflies and dragonflies, which are frequently quite small and can move very fast.
You can't go wrong with these binoculars at this price.

#8. Meopta MeoPro HD 8x32 - Superb optical quality at an economical price
For those of you into butterflies, dragonflies, or wildflowers, the Meopta MeoPro HD 8x32 Binoculars are difficult to pass up. You’ll have to go to binoculars
at nearly double the price to get the same performance. MeoPro HD (extra-low dispersion) glass does a remarkable job of reducing chromatic aberration, which
is what causes loss of sharpness and increased eye fatigue. Their combination of 5.6’ close focus and 414’ field of view at 1000 yards makes it easy to study
flighty butterflies, dragonflies, and damselflies. Of course, these features mean the Meopta MeoPro 8x32 is also great for riparian birding and bow hunting.
Unlike most binoculars, MeoPros are built by hand in the USA!
Phase Correction: Enhances resolution and contrast through roof prisms.
BaK-4 Prisms: Optimize light transmission.
HD ED Flourite Lenses: extra-low dispersion objective lenses for reduction of chromatic aberration, yielding increased contrast, resolution, and color fidelity.

#9. Barska Level ED Open Bridge 10x42 - Our favorite $350 binocular
Barska Level ED Open Bridge 10x42 binoculars are roof prism designs providing great optical quality at an attractive price. Barska Level ED binoculars feature
Extra-low Dispersion glass objectives to reduce chromatic aberration, resulting in a sharper images because the component colors of white light focus closer to
the same point. This means less eye fatigue with extended viewing. The Level ED 10x42 binoculars sport a wide 341’ field of view at 1000 yards. The Level’s open
bridge design has become very popular with binocular users as it allows for a more secure one-hand operation. They are protected by Barska’s limited lifetime warranty.
When Eagle Optics closed and discontinued their popular Ranger ED binoculars, we searched for a suitable replacement. We were pleasantly surprised to find the Barska
Level ED Open Bridge binoculars at a trade show and then do a side-by-side comparison with a borrowed Ranger ED. The Level’s performance was virtually the same as the
Ranger’s. What the Level gave up in close focus, it made up for in field of view. Differences in weight, brightness, sharpness, and clarity were indistinguishable.
Extra-low Dispersion (ED) Glass for reduced chromatic aberration and improved sharpness
BaK-4 prisms for clear, bright, high resolution images
