    Zeiss's new line. Terra. They retail a little over $400. They are very nice for the price

    Re: What binoculars to buy

    Hey I just opened a thread on this a little while ago shouldn't be to far down the list in the gear section. i had a lot of the same questions and there are some good choices on the page to look at. It was a hard decision but, i realized that peoples eyes are different as well some glass didn't look as clear to me and they did my friend beside me.
    Cheers Moe.

    I am a Craigslist hound and I found my Zeiss and a pair of Swarovski EL for great prices from urban bird watchers. Great deals for quality hardly used glasses. You will never understand or appreciate how crucial good optics are until you're out in 4 point season, low light conditions and cant be sure of that 4th point. We have a couple pair of Bushnell and Nikon good quality and the kids fight us to use the good ones. Save up for longer and buy them used - you wont regret it!

    I have a set of 10x42 Leupold that I did not like that much so for the best buck your money can buy that I looked into and tested many before buying are the Vortex 10x42 high definition that's what I have now they will coast you around $600.00 I really like mine that I have had now for two years..
