<< Hi all:
I'm thinking about getting a pair of binocs soon, and was wondering if
the Olympus binocs are a good choice. I've suffered through some pretty
bad binocs in the past, so I want to make a good choice this time. I
really can't afford a pair of Zeiss or Steiner, though! The specific
models that I am interested in are the 10x42, 12x24, and (perhaps)
12x50.

Lee,
At the risk of being flamed, at the relatively high magnifications you're
looking for, have you considered the Canon image stabilized binocs? If the
technology works as good as I've heard, they would seem to be a real boon,
especially for astronomical work. Of course I'm sure they cost as much as a
Zeiss....
Just curious.
