Caporegime
Hi all
We're going on holiday to S. France soon and the property has spectacular views of the French countryside. It's nowhere near a city either so the sky is very clear.
What I'm after is some binoculars or scope of some kind that will be suitable for this kind of thing. I already have a camera scope so whatever I buy can be used on a tripod if necessary.
I suppose the thing I'm partly struggling with is that it would be nice if they were somewhat portable, for walks and days out etc., but their primary usage will be from the back garden.
Am I best getting a spotting scope for the views and a cheap pair of Olympus to carry about?
Budget wise - I'm thinking not top of the line as it's just for casual use, but I want good optics and a quality product.
Many thanks for any thoughts and recommendations.
