I believe the price you pay for is not primary the quality of image, but the comfortability. The cheap one I used (unknown brand name) made me feel fainted and a bit headache after using for ~15 minutes continously. I believe this won't happen on the expensive ones, good binoculars are good for the health of your eyes! One more point: Canon's IS and Nikon's VR are borrowed from military technologies. Military used binoculars have very high power, anti-vibration help the soldiers a lot for long-time supervision. Does anybody knows where can I get such a IS/VR binoculars? - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Douglas Herr" <telyt@earthlink.net> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Saturday, May 04, 2002 12:35 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica binoculars > On Fri, 3 May 2002 09:14:54 -0700 (PDT) Javier Perez <summarex@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > Are they any better than the competition or > > just more expensive? > > Javier, I can't tell you about the competition but my old 10x40 trinovids are superb. The annualized cost is about $15/year, or if you consider resale value the net annual cost is close to zero. I don't consider the resale value 'cuz I'll never sell. > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
