Unfortunately the Miyauchis are almost impossible to find anymore...

I think you will be very pleased with them. The engineering is beautiful and they are just so light-weight compared with everything else. Miyauchi seems to be the only company that cared about making really light-weight instruments and as a result, they are a pleasure to use.

The Tak Astronomers have exquisite optics, but the Exceeds are no slouches either, and ergonomics make the Miyauchi's the binoculars I take out all the time. The exceeds are big enough to find a lot of DSO's.

And I'm certainly glad I got my Saturn III's when I did - the views through those are tack sharp and never fail to elicit a wow from people who look through them. It's a pity that we're probably seeing these wonderful instruments move into the realm of collector's items. I'm sure there will be lower cost instruments with good performance, but I doubt we'll ever see optics quite that good in such super-lightweight enclosures in the near future...
