HI everyone! I just wanted to thank you all for all the suggestions on binoculars. I purchased a pair of 8x42 Vortex Stokes DLS binocs from Wild Birds Unlimited on Riverside in Columbus. I got a great deal (really great) and the staff was very helpful. Of course, I did a lot f research before deciding on these and I was going to get the Eagle Optics Ranger 10x42 (the same as my old and borrowed pair) but the Vortexes were much higher quality for not such a higher price. Anyways, thanks again for all the suggestions! Mikaela Mikaela G.
