A friend and I are wanting to upgrade our vintage g Hi Fellow Birders, A friend and I are wanting to upgrade our vintage glass for some modern ones. I am only interested in 10 X 50, he is more flexible. The problem we are finding is that we cannot find a retail store that has any in the $400 - $800 range. I do not really want to go by just reviews as I already have a pair of 10X50 Yokosho porro prisms, Japan 1960's they are nice but close focus is around 40'. I want to try a pair in comparison to my vintage ones before I spend many hundreds to upgrade. Does anyone have a suggestion of a somewhat local retailer? Nothing at Cabelas or National Camera. I heard Eagle Optics is great but a long haul as we both live in the Mpls metro. My friend is also interested in a scope. I purchased an Alpen scope and am very happy with it. Has anyone had any experience with Alpen's Teton binoculars? The Rainiers they make are out of my price range.
