call Doug at cameraland, he will give you the hook-up !
I understand what you are saying. For many years my binoculars came off the sale shelf or cheap rack at any or all sporting goods stores. They worked, kind of. The glass was never great, view not always so clear. They never did last long, drop them once and they were done for, fogging up was not unusual. As I got older and vision started to not be as sharp as it once was I decided to shop around and see what I could find. Most of my older binoculars were 8 x 42 or 10 x 42. Then I tried a friends 12 x 50's and what a difference. I now have a pair of Vortex Viper HD 12 x 50 binoculars that have a lifetime warranty. Unlike the others that found their way into the trash can simply send them back to Vortex for either repair or replacement. Glass is crystal clear and at $819.00 didn't break the bank.I am shopping for new binoculars for hunting. I am hunting in more open country and spending more time behind the glass. My old binos and eyes are telling the tale on the inexpensive pair I have been using. They will be 10x42-50. Thanks for suggestions my binoculars are 30 yes old
Thanks

agree!I have an older pair of Swarovski 7x42mm Binos and can find game better as well as identify the game better than I can with a pair of 10x40 Leupold Cascades! When I first bought the Cascades it was for my son on his first hunting trip and I thought they had really good glass -- until I compared them with my Swarovski's. A couple of Christmas ago I asked for a pair of 10x42 Swarovski's and have never been sorry! Buy the very best you can afford and maybe even spend a few hundred more than you can afford and you won't have to walk as far and you'll find more game!
