Thanks, Julius, for the report. Wow, now that is very inexpensive for a
pair of binoculars this large. Not surprisingly, I'm skeptical, but OTOH
if your experience is good, I may buy myself a pair. I'll be eager to
hear a full report, when you take them out to Coe or wherever. Thanks.
Cheers,
Paul Sterngold
