I've been watching birds since I was a lad. Usually with my bare eyes, latterly with a big long zoom lens on my DSLR. Lately I've found myself thing about binoculars. Quick research would suggest I probably want 8x42 of some description. However there seems to be a gazillion different options (even manufacturers seem to have various different ranges at separate price points). I want waterproof so I don't need to worry about weather...But will notice the benefit of super social coatings on each lens etc? I get that each pair has a different fit/feel in the hand etc but it's unlikely I'll be able to go and try some, so would I really notice a difference between an £80 pair and a £400 pair or even £2k top of the range numbers?
