He says he appreciated this review and that I couched it nicely.<br /><br />@Kathie - Eagle Optics Rangers are the perfect binocular for the person who cannot splurge on the high-end optics. I love mine!<br /><br />@Chris - You got me thinkin'...is their a resale market for Swarovski's or do people keep them to their death and pass them along in their wills, or more likely are buried with them strapped to their chests.<br /><br />@Dan - looking through high-end optics is dangerous like playing with fire. That jump in viewing quality and bird identification from cheap junk binoculars to my Eagle Optics Ranger SRT's was incredbile...and the next big step up is pretty amazing...it'll just have to wait until I can afford it...maybe when the kids are done with college in 20 years. By then, who knows, maybe we won't need the type of binoculars we have now. Perhaps we'll have computer chips in our brains connected to the web (fount of all knowledge) and bird identification will be automated in our brains.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333731452974780237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-30554003261440322862011-09-28T04:51:19.736-06:002011-09-28T04:51:19.736-06:00why i never look through other's high end stuf...why i never look through other's high end stuff, i would itch to get the next step up. amazing what good optics does for birding.<br /><br />nice review<br /><br />danDan Huberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587246278289468905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-76347484393734512772011-09-27T07:51:38.275-06:002011-09-27T07:51:38.275-06:00This is something I would have to do one day. buy ...This is something I would have to do one day. buy a real binocular pair, but as you know we are in a kind aof recession in the world (and particularly in cieland9, so I'll have to find a good deal ;-) Thanks for this nice review thought, it was quite interesting...Chrishttp://chrisphotonature.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-38429080755868300332011-09-27T06:08:36.850-06:002011-09-27T06:08:36.850-06:00Great review Robert.

They were my first bins until my new Swaros EL. I recommend the EAgle Optic Rangers to those. Who aren't ready to stretch their budget. Hope it doesn't take you long to save your pennies!Dawn Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320576787003821586noreply@blogger.com
