They'd be in your middle price range, around USD 200 I guess. They're very small because they fold in quite a special way, which I find hard to describe - they don't actually fold but you slide them apart in order to adjust the distance of the lenses to the distance of your eyes. They're so small and light that I carry them with me almost all the time (even though I live in Hong Kong, where wildlife is relatively rare ...). Lens quality is really good; I have to admit though that a small Carl Zeiss pair (around USD 500) which I tried before I bought the Voigtlaender seemed even sharper.
