As mentioned above the alpens are a very nice bino. I have a pair of Swarovski and they are awesome in you can spare the change. They are unreal clear and bright. When i look thorugh my other bino's it looks like you are looking through screen. But Alpens would be my next option. I am actually going to be getting an Alpen spotting scope, just for the quality and size, much easier to pack into the backcountry than Swaro's.
