...nor should they. I wanted *something* to carry on my SOT when fishing, and I do such bonehead things on that yak that I would never consider carrying anything expensive. So I got the waterproof 8x30 Tasco for a pittance from WalMart. They're awful. I have a couple of pairs of compact Nikons, the low-end ones (definitely not waterproof), that just put the Tasco binoculars to shame in resolution and depth of field. I've just learned to pretend that I like them, because I don't intend to pay the price for a pair of good waterproof binoculars, and then put them in jeopardy on my boat.
