Default Binoculars for 3-D

I am looking to buy some binoculars for 3-D shooting. Anyone have any recommendations as to power and other tips? Don't want to spend an arm and a leg either.

One thing I learned after a couple years is...........Don't expect a quality sight picture out of cheap binocs!!!!!!!My 1st set were 7X35 Tasco's=JUNK,2nd set were Brunton Eterna's 8X32 not too bad but still not good.
Then I broke down and bought a pair of Pentax DCF-WP 8X42 These IMHO are fantastic for 3D I can see any scoring rings on any target under any light conditions and can leave my glasses on to use them.You can get them for around $300.00 with a lifetime guarantee.Last pair you'll ever need.

WISteve, I use a pair of Nikon 8x50 Marine Binocs. They are as clear as others costing $1000.00 and over and I paid around $230.00 at Dunham's.

I hgave a question of my own here. Is there a power limit on binoculars for 3D? I heard that some places do that, is this true?

The IBO only permits the use of 8X or less,but I beleive they ammended the rule to allow the new 8.5X which some bino manufacturers are making.
