Kahles or Swarovski
I have been saving up a while and I have about settled on 4 different binoculars. 1) Leupold Golden Ring 8X32, 2) Swarovski 8X30, 3) Stiener Predator 8X42, 4) Kahles 8X42. I understand the differences in the objective lenses of each bino. I'm wondering about quality of the Swarovski vs. all the others. If an 8X30 Swarovski has such better glass and coatings would it be a clearer and better light gathering bino than the others? Does anyone have experience with these or other quality binoculars? I have looked through all of them, but in a retail store with bright lights. It is difficult to tell a difference in some of the binos with good light. I have looked at Leupold Wind River, Bushnell, Nikon, and Bausch and L. These were the best I looked through. I haven't yet seen any of the Ziess Conquest Binos. Help!
