The WO 7050:

There seems to be enough top quality binoculars, and close enough in many aspects that to just place arbitrary numbers on them without the comments to go along with them is selling them short. It'd be nice, when looking at the upper end binoculars in any given class, what the differences are before making a purchasing decision. I, for one, live where the best bino's I can walk into a store and compare are in the $100-$200 range. Top quality bino's? I have to take a shot in the dark based upon what tests and reviews I can find- mail order them and hope for the best. And if one reads a review from one source- and then later another one from another source, by someone else, it's still not really as accurate a comparison as if the same person reviews them all at the same time and under the same conditions. EdZ has been exceptionally invaluable to us all here (Thank You, EdZ! ) in providing computer-like accurate and meaningful comparisons and tests. Would simply love to see him do a shoot-out between the top, say- 7x50's (as they seem to be a particular hot topic of interest at the present time) then, perhaps 10x50's, etc.
