The pro’s Kill er Kit #02 Binoculars

Chris says… A wildlife photography essential. Mine are Nikon’s Porro prism 10x42 SE model. Other pro photographers seem to have big, heavy binoculars hanging round their necks these days, but I prefer something lightweight, and these don’t compromise on quality. I use them to spot wildlife from the boat before landing, or to check if there are dolphins near the coast. Nikon doesn’t make the 10x42 SE any more, but you can still find them for sale on eBay, or the RSPB has a great pair of beginnerfriendly 10x42 glasses for £135/230.
