good online store for binoculars?

sxt · 2007-11-28 14:57:12

hi, I'm tempted to buy one of the nikon action extreme bins as they have gotten pretty good reviews on the net,would they be worth paying the extra 80 bucks or so compared to standard nikon action bins.I'm looking at the 7.35 or 8.40 which they don't seem to have on ebay.I don't mind paying extra if i can get good bins…

They seem to be really cheap in America,but the cheapest i can find in europe is here http://www.astroshop.de/en/binoculars/nikon/action-series.

It's like asking for advice on the best car to buy. There are hundreds of differing opinions. Personally I would not touch those Nikons and would lean towards good Bausch & Lombs or Leica. I have found very little of any use in Nature watching available below €400.
