...watched a crow sit on a limb 30 ft way on my friends deck and preen and eyeball that pizza. It was really fun because at the table you could rest your elbows and get perfectly steady views of that crow. It honestly was about the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in a binocular. The light was perfect and the detail at that distance in the 10x Zeiss really and finally convinced me that the alpha binoculars are worth the investment. If you got it then spend it.

... and that in a nutshell is why alphas exist. Most folks are happy to get 90% or whatever of the performance of an alpha at 50% or less the cost, but that extra performance is there for those who can afford it, albeit you pay dearly for that last few percent. At one point I tried to avoid looking through binoculars I knew I couldn't afford for that reason. Once you have experienced just how good top optics can be, it can be hard to go back even that five to ten percent.

Yes as our little college drinking club (the junior birdmen) used to chant "once you're in you can't get out"B
