[QUOTE="NDhunter, post: 3513592, member: 74573"] I have been using larger 15 and 16X binoculars for several years, and I really like the ease of view, and in many cases this power is in a nice place for viewing. 2 eyes are much better for ease of view, than a scope. I often leave mine tripod mounted in my house, and use it from a window, as I have 1-2 miles of clear viewing, being on the farm. I started with a Minox 15x58 ED, have had the Docter 15x60 porros, and currently the Nikon Monarch 5 16x56. These are well priced in the $600. range, so you will not bread the bank if you want to try these. Like mentioned earlier, this is what my budget allows, and there are many reviews on these, just do a search. The Docters perform very well, and the Nikon is right with them, and the 16X gives a little extra. The Minox is less sharp, with more CA. Jerry [/QUOTE]
