What do you guys think of the leupold yosemites in 6x30?  Bought a pair for while I'm in the stand.

The best optics for $100 you can buy.

Was hoping I'd hear that.  $79 on sale this weekend.

I guess I should have said less than $100.  :)  The focus is a little stiff, but they have really clear, bright images and will open your eyes as to how good a "little less than you might think you need magnification" really can be.  As a secondary consoderation they are superb binoculars for kids and small stature people with closer set eyes.

I would buy this glass based solely  on the 6X power not requiring high quality glass and coatings.
good light transmission.
Easy to use.
Perfect for bowhunters.

I just bought a pair 6 months ago and like them a lot. I have had better but for the price tag they are far above the competition.
