Very nice toys too! It will be a long, long time, if ever, to part with my refractors. I know I will always hold on to at least two of them. I have just been admiring the very high end of binoculars, such as the Leica and the Swarovski and I about fall over when I look at the price tag, but man o man, they sure are nice to look thru and easy on the hands to hold. I adore my 10x70 Fujis, but even these start to feel bulky after awhile. Tonight I was out with my Orion Vista 10x50's. It's a bit hazy so not much to look at. I would love to get a pair of Leica's or Swarovski's out under the night sky to see if the price tag is worth it, but then again, I must be dreaming!
