Looking at glass, around the $1000 price range, as everything I've tested below that isn't that much better than my 70's Zeiss pair that were my old man's!
Looking at:
Nikon Monarch HD
Maven B 2
Leopold BX-5
Zeiss Conquest
Swarovski EL / SLC
I've listed them in order of cost.
Generally everyone's feedback is you get what you pay for with glass, so just buy up!
Truth is the Swarovski are creeping out of budget but I just tried pair of Swarovski NL PURE at a local shop and they are clearer than looking though my own eyes!! (Scratches on my dominant eye lense). Incredible. $2.5k + isn't going to be in the budget any time soon though, if ever.
So around a grand, what are your experiences fellas, of quality of glass, functionality and durability?
