RE: Zeiss, Stiener, or Swarovski ?
RedAllison, the triplers and doublers are a great concept, sound good, but nearly everybody that uses them for a while comes back and says the same thing: I would rather just have them separate than to keep changing them back and forth. Plus the little gadgets aren' t cheap.
Zeiss' s new bino' s will be a big hit, great quality at a lower price. Leica is also coming out with a new line of binos, I beleive called the Ultravids, which will be very light and as good quality optics as the rest of there $1000+ lines and still be in the $800 range. There are a lot of new optics coming out, and I think the manufacturers are trying to get into the lighter, lower-price, but still with awesome optical quality.
