The regular camera shops also carry a good range of binos - Cathay Photo in particular has a very extensive range.

Good affordable brands to stick to - Pentax, Olympus, Nikon, Canon. More expensive brands would be Leica, Swarowski, Zeiss.

End up with a German brand from CP coz cannot find any shop selling Nikon/Canon models. Not bad but still wondering how often will use it;p
