I' ve got a pair of 10x42 Swarovski' s and have never given the ($959.00) price tag a second thought! One of my best investments yet. I tried them against all of the above mentioned bino' s and these won hands down. I don' t like any bino' s that have the eye focus piece on the eye cup, I find that I am always knocking it out of wack. The Swarvoski' s are bullet proof.
If you don' t mind where the eye adjustment if located, i would not overlook Pentax. They make a great pair of glasses for the money.
