I ust ordered a pair of Brunton Eterna, 11x45 binoculars. From what I've read, they seem to be some real good glass. I looked through some of the older Eternas and they looked great. I'm going to be using these more for 3d than anything else. (not IBO)

Should be fine. Even the cheapo Brunton spotter I have is quite decent.

I have the Epics and love them, they are on the same level as Swaros, and Leica's IMO. I have a friend that has the Eterna and they are some excellent glass too. Difference is you don't get the lifetime warranty with the eternas.

Without resorting to a pissing match or any of that sort but I have looked thru a lot of highpriced optics and when I had 20/10 vision 8 years ago and now have 20/30 thanks to old age and in my opinion and that of every optic expert I can find/found most think Leicas are heads and tails above anything else. Epics are great binos but not in the same league and the critical measurements FOV , Physical size of Bino tells it all. Customer service will probably go to Swarovski though since Leicas is non existent. Good thing I never had to use them but those that have.....not good
