Thank you. I can't remember binoculars costing so much. My dad bought me a pair of Jason PermaFocus 8x40s about 15 years ago for maybe less than $100. They worked phenomenally until I dropped them a couple months ago. Now they see double..lol.
They were porro prism, they weren't fogproof, they did get scratched up, and there was no lifetime warranty on them like the Leupolds I'm considering. It seems like I've been missing out on great features and I never knew it. Ignorance is bliss?.......
