On a trip to Hamburg not so long ago - I picked up a pair of Steiner Champ 8x26 binoculars. Price approx. 45 pounds.
Small, light and exceptionally clear optics. Recently I have been changing over to smaller gear on board to free up lost space. These fit neatly into that philosophy.
High contrast optics, accurate focusing - too often a failure on budget binoculars - and size, coupled with price from one of the reputable respected manufacturers of optics.
They have replaced my Zenith standard type binoculars without question.
