Does anybody have opinions on binoculars?  Particularly, are the Zeiss
10x40's that all the serious birdwatchers I've run into carry worth
the huge price?  Is there a good place to get binoculars at big
discounts?  What about zoom lenses, particularly the new Nikon zooms?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

(My well-liked Nikon 7x35's were broken in an accident--I'm thinking
of getting something a little more powerful, since I often look at
birds out on Lake Michigan, but I don't want to carry a scope if I can
avoid it)
