What Bino's do you use?

[high country]

get some butler creek lens caps and a lens pen......for yer new leica's, that will make em' last. BTW good glass is pretty scratch resistent.

And after a few years when I realize they're all scratched up from cleaning them with dirty shirt tails and glove fingertips, I won't slip into depression and cry for 3 days!

No kidding. I too am pretty hard on equipment, even if I could afford top of the line stuff, I would probably still use/abuse it.

I have had my Swarovski 10x42 SLC's for 9 years and have abused the crap out of em. They are pretty much bullet proof.  Don't let the price fool you into thinking they can't take abuse.

I am as hard on equipment as can be. I'll use my swarovskis until they are scratched up, dented and beat, then I'll send them back to get fixed.

Zeiss 10x40.  Looked for years, prowling pawn shops trying to find some on the cheap.  Never could so bought them new16 years ago.  Very pleased, only wish I hadn't wailted so long.  Posted on the Photography topic "binowraps" my method of attaching them to my tripod.  Sure makes for easy glassing for long periods of time.

Mine are Swarovski 8x30 slc, the wife bought them for my anniversary 9 years ago, been very good binos!
She uses a pair of Bushnell Elite 8x40 I picked up 2 years ago at Sportco, they were $949 and I got them on clearance for $749, they are as good as my Swarovskis, but I bet their warranty is not as good.

I have the 10.5 by 43 Brunton epoch's. I love the glass. They also have the doubler which my wife bought me for christmas. Haven't got to really use it yet. The only problem with them is trying to deal with Brunton themselves.

Hey Swarovski guys   

[NORRISKI]

10x42 kahles camo very light rugged great low light performance, i looked all the big brands swaro,zeiss,leica. I went with the kahles after smoking my brain on research and bugging local dealers to death, i would agree swaro to be the best,but the kahles compared real close for alot less i like the leica was not real crazy about zeiss.i personally would recommend the kahles for the money best 10x42 out there IMHO!!

Vortex Viper 10x42.  Nearly a Swarovski...not nearly the price.
