I own a pair of Steiner 7 x 35s and some 10 dollar 8 x 20s
And a pair of Leupold compact 10 x. My Steiners are probably 25 years old. They are crap always have been. the free 8 x tascos are better. The 140 dollar Leupolds are decent. They are small and usable. I looked through someones Kahles 7 x one time at the river. They blew me away. They were amazingly clear and bright.
