I have a Vortex "Vanquish" 8X26 binocular. It was reasonably priced; and
it's light, but it's not 100% waterproof. I haven't had any problems with
it. My husband has Nikon 101793BP "Travelite EX" 8X25. It is totally
waterproof, lightweight, and a fair bit more expensive. Both came from the
Mahone Bay store. The optics are clear and sharp on both. The adjustments
are a bit smoother on the Nikon. Please publish information on spotting
scopes, if you receive any privately.
Thanks.
Jane
p.s. If you have unsteady hands, as I do, a stronger powered binocular
becomes more difficult to hold steady.

And speaking of Spotting Scopes (what is the advantage of using
them?) & binoculars in general, (& I apologize if this topic has been
addressed before), where is a good place here in HRM, to find ones that:
1. birders love
2. are reasonably priced
3. and that don't weigh a ton.
I got very nice binoculars for Christmas but they just get so darned
heavy after a short time when I'm out peering up into the trees.
So, for the lady birders out there, what are your favourites and
where did you get them?
Many thanks!!
