I was looking to upgrade from my Vanguard Endeavor ED 8x42 binos. I need more magnification and better resolution for the 1st and last half-hour of the day, particularly to see antlers. I hunt deer and elk in varying terrain in Utah, and looking for one decent set of binos to do it all for now (especially something that works well for an eyeglass wearer). The Vanguards were pretty good for the price, but frankly my vision is not what it used to be, and feel I could benefit with an upgrade.
Unfortunately, alpha glass is not in the picture this year. My price point is $500 or less. There is very little info/reviews available for the Kowas on the internet. However, I am aware that Kowa has a good reputation.
Does anyone have any experience with the Kowa BD series Prominars? How do they compare to the Meopta Meopros (seem well-reviewed)? Is there something else I should be looking at for this price point? Please don't suggest I save for Swaros...not gonna happen this year! Thanks.
