leupold MAKES DECENT BINOS THEY ARE NOWHERE NEAR THE QAULITY OF SWAROVSKI but their waranty and costumer service is second to none.
I have owned leupold ,bushnell, tasco, and nikons in the past and leupold is the only one of those I would consider buying again. none of the others held up for more then a year. I now own a pair of swarovski 10x50 slc, that I bought about 20 years ago.I have had to replace eyecups ,which swarovski provided free of charge but have had no other issues with them.I know you said you are short of cash now but if ever in a position you can afford it , go swarovski.
