I've got the 16x60 PCF V (a newer version). The optical quality is good, but the field of view is really narrow. I think you would need a tripod or monopod to use them. I think $150 is a little high. I think I paid about $100 for mine. I would look for a WP or WP II (newer versions than mine) used. They are waterproof and have slide up (WP) or twist up (WP II) eyecups. You can probably get them about $150.
