I can't seem to find my binoculars so now I am in the market for a new pair. I am thinking about something like 8X32 and of course they must be waterproof. I have looked at lots of pairs and done a little research. So now my question: For basic kayaking (looking at landmarks, birds, nav aids, finding the way in/out of waterways...) should I worry about getting BAK-4 prisms vice Bak7? Would a less expensive pair like the Fujinon's do well enough or should I spring for the Bruntons or Steiners? Any opinions on the Bruntons? http://www.ems.com/products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442582376&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302160943&from Template=products%2Fproduct_comparison.jsp&bmUID=1070761784371 What about a monocular like the Brunton Eterna? http://www.binoculars.com/detail.asp?PID=12119 Thanks for any and all advice.
