[Tweeters] Recommendations for binoculars

[HAL MICHAEL]

In my experience the best option is to go to a store and try them out side by side.  Cabela's, Bass Pro, Wild Birds Unlimited and I am sure there are others that sell lots of binos. When my wife and I tried out new ones we found that, for our particular eyes, price was not the determinant of what was best.  Seemed that each pair, even superficially of the same power, worked differently.
