There are obviously points of diminishing returns as to cost, definition, weight, and ruggedness.
There is nothing that could be done to a binocular to make it worth $700-$1,000 or more for any use I ever had or could conjure up.
I look at the center and not the edge of the FOV and so any advantage as to edge sharpness is not worth much. I do not quarrel with those who want and acquire $2,000 bins, but I would not even consider it. I guess that is the reason I drive a Toyota mini-van instead of a Mercedes or BMW.
If someone gave me a pair of the most expensive 10x40 or 10x50 glasses I would not accept them if I had to carry them on a hunting trip.
I appreciate the comments.
Thanks,
Jerry
