Kahles or Swarovski Bins

[BIG DADDY]

Looking to buy a decent pair of 8x42 binoculars for stalking and I am looking at a either a new pair of kahles for £600ish or used swarovsk £850ish. I am not a professional stalker and wander whether I would appreciate the difference between the two that would justify the extra money.

Any comments appreciated.

I went from 8x42 Kahles to 8x56 Leica, and there is a noticeable difference IMHO between the two. Try and try them first?

If i say in 3 years or so if you sold them on you would get less than you paid for the Kahles BUT you would get more than you paid for the Swarovski's.
I have two mates whos Swaro's are valued at over double what they paid for them 15 years ago.

Do a search on here Ref 'Minox' binos, only good honest reports about them. Wish I'd kept mine as a second pair.

Very good glass.
