Nikon travelite 8 x 25 are very good for around £100.... like most things with glass / optics, depends on your budget really

Carl Zeiss 8x30's 👍
Had these bad boys for 10 years. Trusted by the German Wehrmacht Panzer drivers in
WW2, and I can see why.

Old classics these and well worth considering. About £80-£100 for a well looked after set. 👍

I got my young son a discontinued pair of Opticron T3 WP 8 x 25, they are really good for the money I paid - they were about £45 a couple of years ago. Have a look on their website, loods to choose from to suit all budgets (£50 up to £700)

I've got some olympus 8x40s, great in low light but a bit bulky
Also got some 8x20s,not sure on brand, nice and compact but not great in early morning/evening light levels which is when I most want them.
At some point I'll probably get some 8x30s and get rid of the others

If you wish to spend around £500 then look at the cannon range of Image Stabilized binoculars .
I have the Cannon 10 x 30 IS binocolurs ,absolutely Awesome , would never go back to ordinary binoculars no matter how good the optics

Barr and Stroud Sierra. Anti fogging , waterproof, decent field of view and nice and rugged. I am pleased with the quality of the optics and they are good in low light. I've gone for the 8 x 42 but they do other sizes too.

Well made? Put it this way, my pair were my grandfather's, then my father's, and they are still going strong. A little bit of oxidation of the Metal but nothing that affects the optics.
But I have to say that my new £80 Nikons are optically better.

You wouldn't have thought you would need anything that decent to spot another tank driving at you!
I have a set of Barr and Stroud Sierra, they are great for what I need them for fishing wise.

Depends what you need and/or want to pay. I use Pentax 8 x 25 WP's which have an inverted Porro Prizm for fishing -light, compact, waterproof, very good optics, super clear images and build quality is incredibly good. They're perfect for fishing as they're not bulky and do what you need them to - whether that's spotting your zig float at range or scanning the far bank for fish, they're great. I also have a pair of Pentax AD 10x36WP, again Porro Prizms, but they are heavier and bulkier, also twice the price... but image quality is stunning with those. If you don't mind the extra weight, those are just awesome. I can't stress how well made Pentax binos are, for the money, nothing IMO can touch them.
