I'm a fan of the Vortex as far as non-premium glass. One of the few "bargains" in the optics world IMO.

I may get some grief for this, but Celestron makes fantastic binoculars for the $$$. I have used a pair of 12X60's for the last 4 years, and they held up great from 10 to 110 degree weather. I just bought their Skmaster 15X70's, and they are very clear and have an awesome field of view. $71 at Amazon, including shipping. Go to a local astronomy shop, and check them out and you will see what I am talking about. Good luck.

Docter 15x60's are good too

 

Casey :unsure:

Are you blind :(

Sorry but they Stink Buddy

 

 

Granted, they are not nearly as good as my Leicas or that other brand.. What are they called? They start with a S.... Anyways... They are not bad for the money for a starter bino. My dad has a pair and they are decent. Dont hold a candle anywhere within 100 yards of my Leicas, but only one other brand does, IMHO.

For you Doc lovers I am glad you love them ;)

I have looked threw a couple and they just did not work for me.

All I have is Swaro so guess that is where I am coming from.

 

Regge, maybe you should listen to the guys.

I just gave my $.02 ;)

Well I have to agree the Vortex is really good glass for the money. Even the vipers are really good and about half of the Kaibab's.

 

Hammy I will agree the Celestron are not bad. My bro had a pair of 10X50's that he used for many years. For the money I was surprised.
