Just curious - is there something inherently wrong with Celestron's
SkyMaster series of binocs? I paid $66 for my 15x70's from Amazon and
am very pleased with the entire package (though the ep cover could be
better designed). That said, the 25x100's are $262 at Amazon right now.
Anyway, I was just wondering if there was something I should know about
the Celestron binocs (like the glass turns opaque after 6 months or
something)?
