re bino's

You could consider some Vixen Bino's,call Steve Massy,he has them,I bought a second hand pair of 15 by 80's with a tripod some years ago,and they are a pleasure to use.

I did ask Steve about the 30 by 80 Vixen Bino's,he said they were approx $650-$700,you would have to spend a fair bit to get a good tripod for these,but it would be well worth it it.The lenses in these are made in Japan,but at the price quoted I suspect the body is made up in China,I could be wrong.I hope so.It would be better if they were fully made in Japan.

But without a doubt,of all my gear these 15 by 80's bring the most pleasure.

Cheers Chris
