[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 13769, member: 25"] I have used the Zeiss 10-40 classics extensively and also a couple of pairs of NightOwls, which are a somewhat newer design. Have not used the Victories, they have come out after the NightOwls - I believe they are lighter. Zeiss optics are not going to disapoint you, the difference will probably become more related to ergonomics and handling. I would have to doubt that the Pentax binos would perform as well as the Zeiss in extreme situations. You generally get what you paid for in optics these days as the field is very competitive. Is the difference in cost really there - I have no doubt. We traded our 10-40's off as newer models clearly performed better. The classics are wonderful binocs and are used by some of the most serious hunters that I have met - but. Tough choice, I suggest that you wait until after the SHOT show in Feb. as there will be more choices for you to consider. [/QUOTE]
