Actually, I was eyeing up the Browning 8x32s last night at Cabelas. They only had the 8x32s and 8x42s in stock so I didn't get to check out the 10x42s.

However, I did end up buying a pair of Zeiss Conquest 8x30s. After looking through alot of glass in that price range and higher I thought the Conquests provided the best compromise.

But, I am taking them back. In direct comparison with my Pentax XPs they aren't as bright though they are just as sharp. The focusing mechanism also isn't near as smooth. I do believe I am just going to keep the XPs and opt for purchasing a 10x42 or 10x50 to complete my collection.

Now, back to the stores to compare the Monarchs, Legends, Olympics and HRIIs. Thanks guys for the suggestions.
