What's in your binocular collection?

Hi all,

I must admit that my favorite way to observe is through really good binoculars under pristine southern Arizona skies. In persueing that endeavor, I think I may have gone a little too far...

Canon 15x50 IS
Fujinon 10x70 FMT-SX
Pentax 7x50 PCF WP x2
Pentax 10x50 PCF WP II
Nikon 10x36 Sporter
Tasco 12x50 x2
Tasco 10x42
Rugged Exposure 10x50
Rugged Exposure 10x25
Rugged Exposure 10x30 monocular

Had
Apogee 20x100 w/nebula filters
Barska 20x80
Orion parrallelogram mount

Use at work
Orion 10x50 Scenix
Orion 20x80
Celestron 10x50

Whew...I THINK that's all!

I love both my Canon 15x50 IS and my Fujinon 10x70 FMT-SX! Between them, I find they show me everything I need to see outside of high power planetary observation. And really well at that!

I also use all the rest of the binos on a regular basis. There is a warm place in my heart for the Rugged Exposure 10x50 WA binos. They were the first and showed me the potential of binoculars. And I got 'em for twenty bucks!

So, what's in your binocular collection?
