So...umm yea. Odd post.

What do you want to do with said binos; bird watch, wide field of view, marine use, etc? Do you have a price range?

That will help get some responses to your question.

My suggestion for a great all around pair of 7x50's is this:

Vortex Optics - Hurricane 7x50

They can be found for under $300, great warranty and a reputable company.

I use binoculars almost every day of the year. Have tried so many I cannot count them. My conclusions are that I now use only 10x. I have larger and smaller ones but all 10x. Don't need more and no use for less. Jmo

If you're dead set on 7x50's I'd look for a pair of Zeiss classics, better yet just get a pair of those in 10x40 and be done with it.

Kahles 10x42

Fuck 10x. Too small of a FOV, too small of an exit pupil, and too much vibration. JMO of course.

I'm a 7x or 8x guy religiously, although I like a 42mm objective better. It opens up a lot more choices in the more compact roof prism design.

Here's some light reading for you

If you're using IS binos then vibration isn't a big deal.

Swarovski 8x50 slc... heavy but I can see well into twilight and with a cloudless night you can still detect animals moving around pretty well. Opens up the night sky in light polluted areas better than anything I have tried yet.
