What do you use for binoculars?

Weaver 12x50. Not great glass, but good enough for how I use them.

I have a pair each of the Leupold Wind River and Nikon compacts, both 10X. I can't seem to get the knack of using them. My Go To set is an old pair of Leupold 9X25 Prism type. The cost about $250 ten years ago,and I don't know if they even make them yet. I esepcially like them because they have an adjusment on each eye piece. 

I've got 10-50 Bushnell's on my boat, rubber coated and seem to work fine the last 8 years.

I wear 8x-40mm B&L on my neck at all times hunting.  Started to the last 10 years since my eyesight went to shit.  Can't hunt without them.  Mine are quality glass but are heavy.  they are great always, but especially in low light.

I use a Celestron 10X50 wide angle.  Bought them in the late 70s or early 80s.  Kind of heavy for carrying around, but great for glassing from the vehicle.  

I've also got a pair of compact Simmons 8X21 that I never use because they're a POS that makes everything look fuzzy.    Got them through some kind of promotional deal long ago. 

I need to get a good quality small binocular for the field.  And one of those straps that keeps it close to your chest, but lets you pull it up easily for viewing.  

Leica Trinovid BN 10 x 42mm around $2400 oz new.Mine were second hand and are the best glass I have looked through.

I recently purchased a pair of PENTAX 10 x 50 DCF SP's for around $600 dollars. I still don't think in my eyes anyway, that they are worth the extra $260 plus bucks over the Bushnell Legends that sell for around $300 dollars or the Leupold "Wind River's" that are in the same price range as the Bushnells Legends.

The PENTAX are a little brighter in low light, but not that much that I can't make out what I am looking at through the Bushnells Legends. Anyway those PENTAX  I purchased got high marks whatever that means in your eye's.......Not that big a deal in mine OK.
