I'm in the market for a new pair of binoculars. I have a pair of Leica Ultravids 10x50, which have great optics of course, but which I've always found to be prone to getting foggy, dirty and scratchy. I've had them sent for warranty service a few times, even though use them sparingly.
I also have a pair of Nikon Monarchs 8x42, which are also fantastic for their price ... the optics are almost as good as the Leicas, and the durability is FAR superior. However, they're not as bright, and I really prefer the higher magnification.
So, now I am looking at buying another high-end pair. My priorities:
Any recommendations?
