Hi Folks, I couldn't help adding a post to this thread. Gotta spend some money to get good optics, but you don't have to spend thousands. Eagle Optics (they have a web site by that name) sold me a pair of their birding glasses that have been truly great. I have the 8X42 Raptor. While out birding, I've passed them to folks who are used to Swarovski's, etc, and everyone has been impressed. I get a thrill every time I use them. Waterproof and N-purged. One serious dousing (way more than two hours last year (my Force-5 racing sailboat and I got into some tail wind that was more than we could handle)) left my first pair fogged and Eagle replaced them no questions asked. Happy paddling.
