Hello Netland;
	After having recently attending the musical HAIR, in Milwaukee WI.
I was reminded how frustrating it is to be so far back that you cant 
see any but gross facial expressions.

Well, Christmas is coming and I had not a clue what to get for my
wife. Hey presto why not opera glasses or suitable binoculars for all
those performances we attend but get stuck in the back forty.

So I was hoping for advice from these newsgroups about binoculars or opera
glasses that were good for both theatre, other sporting events as well
as birdwatching.

I dont mind spending good money on good products. At the outset however I
doubt I would be willing to spring for expensive Leitz binocs.

Any recommendations? I will summarize results to netland.
