You should definitely check out the B&L 8x Elites. Fran and I used Zeiss 10x42s for years. Aging eyes and the desire for close-focussing bins led us to look around and the 8x B&Ls really knocked our socks off! We see better now with these bins than with the Zeiss at a lot lower price! Oh, and I can focus on my toes with these. Obviously no one binocular is best for everyone, but at least consider and try out the 8x range! Best, Norm Saunders ====================== Norman C.
