    Olympus Binos

    Specifically Olympus 10x42 EXWP I ... anyone got a pair?
    I'd like to get a pair from binoculars.com but they don't ship here...
    Is there anyone on here going to the states who could shuffle them through?
    or is it not worth the hassle.

    Hey thanks for the feedback Munsey...
    Sounds like they might be along the same lines as what I'm using...
    From some reviews I thought they might have been better..

    Double the budget I guess.. I'll keep saving the pennies..
    Cheers

    Maybe theres room for a thread 'Best binos for under 500.. under 700 and another for under a grand..
    I've only really looked through Steiner Safari Pro 8x22 and Leupold Cascades 10x40 in low light..
    The Leuplod's being much better..

    Has anyone had a chance to compare the Bushnell Ultras with the Leupold Cascades?
    Are the Bushnell's on par with them?

    Cheers
