Kowa scopes are great, but they're very expensive.  I'd urge
anyone to try to use 10X binoculars if you can.  I know that
the conventional wisdom is that 7X are best, but I and many others
that I know use 10X without difficulty, and find the extra
magnification to be useful--so you might like to try them out
before you rush out and purchase 7Xs.
