It seems these days that if there is a crowded market in the outdoors space, it is the optical segment. A consumer has never had the choice of some many different optics of such high quality for less money as there is today. This, obviously, was not the case in the not-so-distant past. It used to be a hard and fast rule that with optics, you get what you pay for. A higher price tag netted superior glass with coatings that worked to minimize distortion, mirage, color accuracy, resolution, and transmission. While that is still true for higher-end optics produced by some really prestigious names, there has been some truly remarkable progress in optical bang-for-your-buck by what might be called "lower-tier" manufacturers.
