I was wondering the same thing....does anybody else use Alpen optics? I was thinking of purchasing a pair of Bino's as well but would like to hear some feedback first.

My cousin has a pair and all I can say is he kept taking mine to look at deer this weekend I dont know what the problem with his was but they were real fuzzy to look through I have a pair of Brunton's and really like them. I dont know anyone else that has Alpen's.

I have a pair of 7X that I got a few years ago. They aren't my main binos for glassing but they are very clear and great for when I am archery hunting and still hunting. I think they are a pretty good deal for the price that you will pay for them.

I've got the Alpen 15-30X45 spotter. Got is last year and have used it three times, but I'm very happy with it. I was leary at first, but decided for the price it was worth a try. I'm pleased with it so far. I think I got it for about $115 on Ebay.
You get what you pay for in optics. I have a pair of Zeiss Classic 10X40 that I use all the time, way more than the spotter. Buy the best you can afford, you won't regret it.

I also have the 15-30x45 spotting scope. I used it all last year from september to november and it worked great. Good product for the money.

I've had the Alpen 10x42 bino's for about 3 years now and I love them. They are every bit as clear as my brother's pentax and my dad's Steiner's. About a year ago my wife accidently dropped them on the pavement and messed up one eyepiece. I sent them back to the company and in 2 weeks I had me a brand new pair, no questions asked.

I also use the 20-60x80 spotting scope from Alpen and I love it as well.

For the price, Alpen can't be beat in my opinion.
