Well, a Kowa SV 8x25 and an SV 10x25 coming despite no direct reference. LOL It's the lower tier Kowa pocket but phase corrected and fully multicoated, dual hinged as desired. Supposedly made in Japan. Any company that makes their own fluorite crystal is serious, or so I figure.
Could not locate a Pentax where I wanted to buy this time. (I needed to be able to specify exact shipping carrier.)

Will keep Meopta and Zeiss in mind.

I have had a couple of Pentax and they're a great value for the money. They meet my needs for whitetail hunting out to 150yds. or so, never had any problems with mine.

I have a pair of Alpen 10x27 Wings folding binocs. I wouldn't claim them to be the ultimate but I can wear them all the time w/out a penalty in weight or bulk and have found a lot of critters w/ them. Sometimes having something you can use all the time and leave in the console ready for the next time works. The 10x50 Alphas and carbon fiber tripod ride in the pack for use when appropriate.

Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that.

I have Leica Trinovid 8x20 binoculars that I bought from Doug at Cameraland years ago. I think it was my first purchase from Doug.
I love those binoculars. They work remarkably well until it starts to get dark but that is not their intended use. I would never sell them.
My point being what mule deer said about magnification and objective size.
Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds. That's simply the way it is.
