I picked up a pair of Vortex Diamondback 10x50 binoculars and they are outstanding! They are not bulky or heavy and I paid $211 from Opticsplanet.com when they were on sale. Plus, Vortex offers the VIP no questions asked lifetime warranty. I like these binos so much that I'm going to get a pair for my wife before next fall, maybe in the 10x42.
