[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 2037035, member: 8907"] If you can't guess, I wear glasses! :cool: If this thread is redundant, I must have missed it in my search because surely I'm not the only one looking for binoculars with this issue. I'm looking for better quality than I can find at most 'common' stores near where I live where a pair that runs >$400 is for wealthy yuppies with more money than common sense. :rolleyes: Looking at some random Swarovski, Leica, and Zeiss specs, I'm seeing eye relief ranges in the mid to high teens in millimeters. ~17mm means in practical terms my FOV is going to be a bit small as the barrels clip my image. I have a couple of pairs of 6 and 8 power 32mm objective bins but, I'm looking for something in the 12 power range with at least 42's for light gathering unless the resolution is so much better I can stay in the 8 to 10 power range and see the details. I need something with more range, great FOV, excellent detail, and low light performance which to me suggests a big heavy pair from a proven European brand. Where should I be looking in the $1K~$2K range and what 'performance' differences are a reasonable expectation between $1,000 and $2,000 price points. I need to be able to use these for longer periods of time so, eye fatigue is a concern with cheaper glass. [/QUOTE]
