Re: [Paddlewise] Waterproof Binoculars

I'll echo the recommendation for the Pentax 8x42.  They're bright,
clear, relatively light-weight, and have good eyepiece adjustments for
glassed or naked eyes.  I got these to replace an old pair of Swarowski
10x50, which were brilliant if you could lay perfectly still, elbows
tightly affixed to your sides.

I'll have to cast my vote on the PENTAX brand. The wife and I have three 
pair of them, the 8X42(permantely attached to my wife), 7X50(very
bright, 
but big and heavy), and the 8X24(weather resistant and brighter than
most 
7X35 I have looked through), these go with me everywhere.
