RE: Bowhunter looking for new binoculars.
I always wondered why nobody makes a decent variable zoom at a good price. They're either cheap POS's, or VERY expensive.
I need to be able to see long distances, so I carry a decent 8x17-25 to zoom long ranges, but also use an 8-40 to see clearer closer. I should just man up and buy a 12-40, or even a 16-40.
