[QUOTE="rj112275, post: 3992210, member: 12284"] Buy what you can afford. Leopold seems to be plenty for me. The VX3 is pretty darn good in my eyes. As for binos... wow, you can buy a lot for $500, more for $1000 and a lot for $2000. I've owned some very nice Leica, Swaro and Zeiss. They are all excellent in the $1000-2000 range. And yes, there is a difference in eye fatigue, clarity, light capturing capability. With that said, if you have a pair of $200-300 binos, they will work. However, better glass is pricy for a reason. For me the diminishing returns come somewhere in the $1000 range. There is very nice glass that is considerably better than $500 glass, but not super, $1000 more better in my opinion. Find some used Zeiss Victory FL-T or some used Swarovski in the $1000 range and you'll really see a difference. Literally. [/QUOTE]
