It's been a while since I've researched or purchased binoculars. I'm looking for the best (optically) 8x30/32/33 in the $1,000 or less range. What's the current advice?
A locking diopter is a must. And I wear eyeglasses, FWIW.

How about you call us, 516-217-1000, and speak with either Doug, Neil or Joel, and we put you into a Meopta MeoStar B1 Plus 8x32 Binocular for only $999.99. I think you'll be very happy.

I have the binos Doug references above and they are outstanding!

Doug how do the meopta compare to the Kowa genesis in that size

Very close with the edge going to the Meopta

Well, whatever I get I will be getting from you, Doug. Long time customer here.👍

Another Meopta vote

Man, I'd likely quit shopping and get to buying with that deal.

If I didn't already have the 8x32 range covered with Nikon Premier LX Ls and Swaro ELs, I'd be calling Doug.
