Title: Leupold Pinnacle 10x42 Binoculars
Post by: coop2424 on August 05, 2009, 09:17:48 AM: I have the chance to pick up a paid or Leupold Pinnacle 10x42 binoculars for 299 when they are originally 499 and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them? Any pros or cons or if they are worth that price would be much appreciated.

Every glass has some flaw. On these there is some chromamatic aberration but very little much less than any other glass in that price range, at least to my eye. They also had the highest reviews in that price range when they came out. They also are the only pair except goldrings made in japan not china, if that matters to you.

Post by: coop2424 on August 06, 2009, 03:47:50 PM: Thanks for the feedback I actually am buying a pair because you can not beat the price. They are at Cabelas and the sales rep told me if I buy them online and don't like them I can bring them back anytime I want even if it is 3 months later. So that sold me on it because I will be able to try them and return if don't like to. Here is the link if anyone else would like to get a pair.
