Im wondering what is the brighthest roof prism bin in 10x42 in the $500-$600
dollar range and has good eye relief for eyeglass wearers?
I don't know of any in that specific price range. There are a bunch priced around $200.00 to 400.00 and then there are about 3 or so in the $700.00-800.00 range and from there they jump up to $1200.00 and above. If you really want the brightest and best 10 x 42 it will cost about $900.00. It's the Nikon 10 x 42 SE Porro Prism which many consider the standard by which all 10 x 42's are judged.

You can sometimes find Nikon 10x42 LX roof binoculars on Ebay for around $600>$700. I am not saying these are the brightest.:-) BTW Like Bob, I have Nikon 10x42SE . I have used a very good friends Nikon 8x42 LX and 10x42 LX and they were both excellent for me, somewhat heavy though, these were before the LX L. Some people had trouble while panning with rolling ball effect while using the LX, I saw it and my eye adjusted and never saw it again.
