Thread: Newbie: Suggestions for first binoculars?

Starting out there's nothing wrong with $400 vortex diamondback 10x42s. Or Leopold Yosemites.

I started out with both and have never upgraded. I can still spot deer well beyond 1km away no prob, and see them in low light etc.

Some people seem to think that unless optics cost thousands of dollars you won't be able to see deer.

I'm sure a pair of 4k Euro binos will do everything that little bit better but not 10 times better.
