Hey Dawgs, I was thinking a pair of binoculars would be a good addition to my back pack for my hiking trip in the Smokies, but as I started looking for a pair I realized I don't know anything about them. What power/lens diameter is good? What brands are good bang for the buck? Also, need to consider size and weight since they will be going into my pack. Thanks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
