bt8897FS Zeiss 10x56 Night Owls $760
Many consider these to be the ultimate low light binocular. The Zeiss 10x56 Night Owls was a "cost is no object" endeavor for Zeiss,made in limited quantities and was dropped in the late 90s, when Zeiss deserted its heritage of 150 years worth of perfecting the use of lead optical glass, in favor of new "Green" glass formulations without lead. The Night Owl has the very best Zeiss T* (T-Star) and enhanced phase coatings, and copious amounts of perfect lead glass. $760 shipped.
Really good glass for the money.
