[QUOTE="Pariah, post: 1248472, member: 23126"] Youre paying for more than the quality with top brand optics though...you are paying for longevity!! If you pick up a reasonably priced pair of porros new (opticron or nikon etc etc) then yes...they will be quite bright and sharp at first. In 5 years they wont be!..and i know this first hand!My swarovskis are as good today as when I bought them 7 years ago...and 7 years from now they still will be! And with a 30 year gurantee.....there is no question of whether or not they are worth it! My brother bought a pair last year after using porros for years....we went birding in cyprus shortly afterwards and he was just blown away with the sheer difference in quality. It improved his enjoyment of birding dramatically. You cant argue with that kind of quality. Owen [/QUOTE]
