I currently have a pair of Hawk frontier ED's 10x32 and in truth, other than the LONG focus from close to infinity, I love the things. BUT, my daughter is graduating and wants a trip to Alaska for her graduation present. I'm mainly a wildlife photographer (www.[bleep].com/centavo) so my "big money" goes into camera lenses. There will be four of us on the trip to Alaska and one pair of bins isn't going to cut it. I want to stick to the 32/33mm size due to weight (my Canon L lenses get heavy quick). I'm looking at the $800-$1000 range (Leica Triv,, Zeiss Conquest, Meostar, Kowa, Nikon HG's, etc.) Close focus is important because I do some close photography as well. I do wear glasses. Just looking for some opinions from folks who own some of the aforementioned....Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, JP
