A question for the fun of it.
What binoculars that are not made by Zeiss/Leica/Swarovski/Nikon EDG II, i.e., "Alphas", do you consider to have a comparable optical quality to the "alphas"?
To answer, you should have actually used (not just looked through) one of more official alpha(s) since the advent of phase coating.
Also, the purpose of the use should be for handheld looking at birds, and they should be current production, and excluding compacts.
My nominees:
Nikon 8x32 SE
Swift Audubon 8.5x44 ED
