Brands:
Binoculars are often treated like a fashion item and hanging a
Swarovski binocular in the field is akin to wearing a Rolex watch to a
meeting. But like a HMT or Timex gives the same time as the Rolex at a
fraction of the price, a good pair of Bushnells may show the same view
as a pair of Leica Ultravids, again at a fraction of the price. But
there is always more to price differences than brand names alone, so to
each his/her own! Here are some choices:
Most desirable: Swarovski, Leica and Zeiss - starts upwards of Rs 40k
Medium range: Nikon, Bushnell, Pentax - wide price range
Cheaper alternatives: Olympus, Swift, Eagle Optics - often in the less than Rs 4,000/- range
