[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 85418, member: 8947"] I have been using a number of Nikon products and love them. For a light pair of binos, I use the ATB 8X42 roof prism. Light and awesome clarity. Around $250. If you want more mag, they make a 10 and 12X in that model. For longer distances or general glassing, I am now using a pair of EX ATB 12X50 binos. Very nice, quite light and dirt cheap at $150. Massive field and depth of view. I don't bother with a spotting scope much when using these binos. Don't think that the price indicates optical quality in these cases. I have compared them side by side to some pretty expensive Euro binos and these didn't give up much if any. In fact, at a 1000m shoot this summer, these EX were compared to a pair of 10X42 Zeiss by the owner and me. The owner of the Zeiss admitted he found these Nikons had better resolution and depth of field. I have use them both hunting at first light. I can say I am impressed with their low light abilities as well. Jerry [/QUOTE]
