I'm a fan of the old Leitz binos myself. I have 10x40, 8x32 and 6x24 Trinovids, all old style Leitz glass, and a Leica Ultravid 8x20.
The 6x24 get used a lot indoors, for stage events, because of the incredible fiold of view, and the fact that I'm usually in the rarefied atmosphere of the cheap seats. (I had a pair of their 10x22, but I gave them to a friend because I couldn't hold them steady enough. 8x is my limit).
FWIW, I also have a pair of 5x British plane spotting binos, from WWII, which are fixed-focus, with the military broad arrow ID and all. Odd but interesting, and OK for a quick look at something not far away. And a Zeiss 8x20 folding monocular, great for covert viewing; when it's unfolded you can hold it in a closed fist and no one has any idea what you're doing. Not as useful as you might think, but still one of those odd things that bring so much delight (to odd people who are charmed by odd things).
