[Leica] binoculars - looking for assistance

[faneuil at gmail.com (Eric Korenman)]

My mother-in-law wants to buy my father-in-law general purpose /
birding binoculars.
They like to stroll, wander, point out houses and birds. That kind of thing.

I know NOTHING about binoculars but they consider me to be the
resident optics expert.

Can anyone recommend magnification
and a few models covering low, middle and high price points ?

Low is around $100, middle say $200-500 and high.. whatever Leica
binoculars cost.

thanks,
Eric
