[Tweeters] Recommendations for binoculars

[Faye McAdams Hands]

Hi Christina,

I know that you have already gotten a lot of responses already......

I myself use Swarovski (8.5 x 42) but my husband swears by his (less expensive) Zeiss (Terra ED 10 x 42).

I was at the Costco in Gig Harbor yesterday and was surprised to see that they are carrying Zeiss 10 x 40 binoculars! I've never seen them there before.
I wasn't in the market, just surprised to see them, so didn't note all of the specifications, but I do remember that they were mid-$400. range - definitely less than $500.

You might try the Costco in Tacoma before crossing the bridge....

Happy Birding,

Happy spring fellow birders,
I am considering a purchase of new binoculars and have about $450 to spend. I was looking at Zeiss terra Ed 8x42. Would like some input regarding those bins or any suggestions for other options. Also, not wanting to go to Audubons nature shop for input as the drive is a little long
Thanks so much in advance for your help Christina Tacoma
