Many on that list are not manufacturers, they are re-branders of Chinese or Japanese OEM's.
Good thing he didn't ask about manufacturers then, only brands.
I voted "other" because my most used pair is a pair of Cabelas "brand" Outfiitter HD's that from everything I can gather, were made by Kamakura in Japan.
If price were no object and I knew I'd never leave my binoculars somewhere and forget them or have them stolen, I would answer differently. LOL
Sure, after the poll was edited to remove the term ''manufacturer'' from the original thread title question.
Is it me or is the list Eurocentric?
Why isn't Maven there? Are they in the "other" section? Why?
However my favorite bins are better defined by size and design than brand name.
