I had a pair of 10x42 Bruntons that I was very happy with until the left eye piece stopped focusing this year.[:@] They were not a very expensive model, as they say you get what you pay for. I'm going to try a bunch out, but I'm not spending a ton of money for how I use/abuse them. On a 3d shoot last year I tried out my buddy's Swarovskis and they are something else. Unbelievable clarity and light transmission.
