    Anyone have any experience with them? I've read good things about their scopes. However, I'm looking at their roof prism binos and need some feedback.

    I have no experience with 'em... my bro has been using Fujinon binos for a while and I find them to be VERY clear and light.

    I have the 3-12x56 scope and love it.

    I have looked through them when they first came out. I think they are middle of the road glass. Their scopes are fantastic... If you are going to buy binoc's - buy some that will last you a lifetime... Swarovski.

    Kahles are made in the same factory as Swarovskatri, I beleive. In fact, I think they are great optics, just not as pricey. I would have to give a nod to Swaproski for having the BEST binos ever....period...end of story
    At least I'm housebroken.

    Bought a second hand pair of Swarovski 8x56 binos. Had them for about a week when my Boykin spaniel pup chewed them into a billion pieces.Poured the billion pieces in a box and sent them to the factory.ONE week later they sent me a new pair with a dog bone taped to the top!I am now a customer for life and they say they woulden't want to meet a Boykin in a dark alley.

    I have had great customer service from them also. I hope I don't have to get a doggy bone if I send mine back...

    Leica 10 X 42. They are clearer than the Swarovski's and better made. They do cost a littel more but you won't have to buy another pair for as long as you live. Swarovski does make a great pair of glasses though.
