After testing ten or so high quality Binoculars in the 10x42 range, I came across these for only about $250 and could not find anything that could beat them, unless over 2x the price - the Kowa 10x42's - about $550 dollars, I cannot remember the model. Good for eyeglass wearers That said, it is quite difficult to handhold these fine instruments steady, as with any 10x mag. set, especially after forty to fifty years of age! Make sure to buy the new 'I' version. Content and images originally posted by mtgmansf
