I have some cheap no name roof prism $10 8x21's that I like because they're so compact, but I want something a little more powerful. The quality seems OK to me, though I've never really compared any so I probably don't know what I'm missing. So what are some good bang for the buck 10x25 or 12x25? I'd prefer roof prism that fold up compact. As far as what I'll use them for, no one thing in particular.
I got my dad some Tasco 10x25 last year for I think $15 but I haven't tried them.

Looking for model, price, where to buy please - either online or B&M (SE US).

Bushnell makes some excellent field glasses. Bushnell's field glasses tend to have a wider field of view than others, which is very helpful for spotting. I've got a pair that I really like.

Which model do you have or what you would recommend for me? Where did you get yours?
You mean the field of view is larger for the same rating as others, or they're a larger #?
