    Upgrading Binos

    As above
    I am looking at upgrading the binos, am looking at the Leica Trinovid 10x42 HD
    Is there anything else in this class I should be aware of bearing in mind no I've more than 2k flat to spend and also do not want R/F Binos.
    cheers.

    Have a look at the zeiss range, I’ve got the 8x42 and I’m bloody happy with them.

    A good option that are often overlooked are the Nikon Monarch HG's. Have a read of the US forums on birdwatching ect they will give you some good insight. They punch well above their price range at $1500-$1600.

    Thanks guys, good to have options.
    Hey @Fat ninja, is that the conquest model your talking about? @EFriz I'll google Monarch HG
    I've also looked at the Kahles Helia but in any comparison they seem to fall below the Trinivods.

    Have used the new vortex UHD binos and been very impressed by them. Picked up mobs of tahr with them that I couldn’t see through my binos. Extremely good glass, a little bit on the heavy side but there’s always compromise. Don’t confuse these for just the HD as they are different. I reckon the fact that they have a lifetime guarantee must put them right up there

    @jakewire, have a very good look at the 8x42 model.

    Excellent light gathering.

    Thanks all
    I hunted around and ended up talking with @Sarvo off here, he gave me a great deal on a pair of 10x42 Trinovids which I'm happy to accept.
