    I had a look at the 10s and they didn't seem too bad for the money. Those 12s be ideal for sticking on a tripod and glassing some tops

    I use them, mine are a little older I think, 12x50mm rather than 52mm.

    I like them (although will upgrade soon), bought them new on ebay for less than $400, $380 rings a bell. It was just just below GST limit......

    They work great, I used to outspot my mate using 10X40's so he had to get some 12x....
