If I were interested in your opinion on my socks, I would have asked.

I am quite sure my information isn' t flawed. I know the difference between porro/roof, different coatings of lenses, twilight factors, etc., I was simply curious what everyone used or preferred, and if compacts were in their day packs.

In addition, if you think anything under 400 bucks is junk, then I honestly could go without your opinion. You are either uninformed, or cannot comparison shop worth a damn. I' ve found many a pair of $500+ glasses for less than $200 on ebay and many online stores. I' ve also met many a hunter who has had the $1,000+ pair and prefers his much more sane $300 pair.

I don' t have $800, $1,000, or whatever insane amount of money you spent on the Swarovskis that you saw in the window and looked so pretty.

Thx Angus and PA, I appreciate your input.
