As the title states, I've got a $1000 budget to purchase a set of 10x42 binos.
I've narrowed it down to three makes/models and wanted to get the hive's opinion before dropping the coin.
In no particular order:
Swarovski SLC, used
Zeiss Victory T*FL, used ($900, but pre-LotuTec)
Leica Trinovid, new and on clearance for $899 (this is the "older" model with the diopter located in the center.)
If it wasn't for the poor reviews of Leica's customer service, it would be a no-brainer, but......
What's your thoughts/suggestions?
