I use cheap binoculars.
For the last 4 plus decades I have used only 2 pair of Zeiss binoculars, 8x for brush hunting and 10x for open country.
Paid less than $100 for each .

I think bino's are obsolete technology unless they also contain a rangefinder. That would be the only enticement for me.

When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
