Greetings!
Looking over the various options available for binoculars, it's apparent that manufacturers are focusing on certain "safe" and marketable configurations - like 10x25, 8x32, 10x42, 10x50, etc. as standard offerings. Very few manufacturers are willing to take "chances" by offering things like 9x25, 8x28, etc.
If you owned a major binocular manufacturer and could go to the R&D department and ask for any non-standard configurations to be prototyped or manufacturered, what would you ask for?
My requests would be:
7x25
7x32
9x42
7-11 x 36 Duovids
Best wishes,

10x or greater image stabilized bins that...
weigh 30oz or less
brightness comparable to the big 4 TOL bins
sharpness comparable to the big 4 TOL bins
FOV comparable to the big 4 TOL bins
Oh yeah...they retail for $49.99
9x42 would do for me, roof prism AND porro, to compare
