Hi Chris, >Thanks to everyone for the suggestions for waterproof binocs. >It will make my search a bit easier. > >(FYI: current binocs are USD$50 SEARS 8X25 minis, > vintage 1980, which travel in a ziplock baggy > stuffed in PFD pocket.) What's your current price range for new, waterproof binoculars? >Now, for something even more expensive and way gearhead: >Any recommendations for binocs that give the range (distance >to object in focus) and a compass bearing? Sure. Leica Geovid 7x42 BDA. "Way gearhead," indeed. But, Chris, there's that pesky budget issue again. Are you newly rich? Because you could buy a decent used car for the price of a pair of these. According to Leica: "The scientific magazine Popular Science awarded its prize for trendsetting innovation to the Geovid 7x42 BDA binocular." Could be just what you need. >Oh yes, and what about night vision scopes? >What for? I dunno, to look for bats, lurking canoes, stray >twinkies stuffed in nose of boat and the like. Are you playing with us?
