Cons: The price makes you gulp.

Introduction I knew I was in for it when my wife asked me that question. See, I already had a pair of very nice Leica binoculars. The Leica's are just so nice and clear with a super image... but they are also HEAVY! I had taken my Leicas on a ...

Pros: Brilliant clarity.
Cons: None

Having a fair bit of experience with binoculars as a Forward Observer in the Marines and my years of hunting/bird watching I usually do opt for binos in the decent price range of $300-600(which is expensive enough). I've Had Steiner’s, the upper end ...

Pros: Excellent clear picture, true colors, light weight, comfortable grip, great looks, and natural pointing.
Cons: I haven't found any yet, except the price. I'd still do it all over again.

When I got through checking them out and looking through the viewfinder, the only WOW was "I bought a great pair of Binoculars! WOW!"

I have always like good binoculars and have owned Nikon's, Swift's, Steiner's, Bushnells, and Tasco's. I have never owned THE BEST. This is just that. I believe they are the finest glass made for all kinds of activities.

I use them for sports, hunting, target shooting, and vacation. They just don't make them any better. I wear glasses and these give me a great view across the whole field of view.

I'd give up most of my prize possessions, before I gave up these Swarovski's. I'll never have to buy another.
