Binoculars

Can anyone recommend a good pair of binoculars to take out whilst using my camera and long lens? Would be ideal if i could fit them in a pocket!Cheers!

  1. I've got these as my second pair and they're really good - NIKON Aculon A211. They're £59.99 from Currys which is the best price around I think. They're only 8x mag but are easier to hand hold because of that - might be a bit too big though if you want them to fit in your pocket.

  2. I'm sure these would suit you ..... http://shopping.rspb.org.uk/binoculars-scopes/binoculars/rspb-puffinr-8-x-32-pink-binoculars.html

    Seriously though at least you would get to try any of the RSPB range out if you visited Leighton Moss and what better place to field test them!
