Vintage Japanese Pentax Binoculars
Hi all, I picked up these made in Japan Pentax Coated 8x30 binoculars during my holidays for 20 GBP to casually birdwatch and really like them so far, but it is very hard for me to judge their quality compared to what is on the market today. I have really fallen down the birdwatching rabbit hole and I am considering to invest more money into a pair of binoculars. I really like the zoom factor and field of view of these compared to my Aculon 10x25 A30s (which i don't like at all, really wobbly and too narrow field of view). The one downside though is that the Pentax ones have a fairly strong blue tint. What I would like to know is generally if I am to invest around 200 into a newer pair, will that be an "upgrade" or are these actually better? I don't mind the weight and actually like the vintage aesthetic. No scratches etc.
