I have a pair of Steiner 7x50's that are touted to be the brightest glass in the world. They are bright, and the auto-focus system does work, but they are HEAVY. Tough, well thought out, and well made, they are bulky. I chose them for dusk and dawn work if I ever get around to do a leopard hunt.

I used them in Russia on a brown bear hunt. They worked well for spotting these brown behemoths against a snowy background. Even miles away, the bears could be seen in pine bushes feeding on pine cones. Seven power was more than enough given the clarity of these Steiners. The auto-focus worked exceedingly well in this environment. I never touched the focus adjustment once. As for climbing the hills with them bobbing around my neck...

Regards
