4.0 out of 5 stars Buy these NOW!, January 1, 2009

Birders will love the high quality optics and close focus. At 8 feet away you can see the Iris of the bird looking back at you! Eyeglass wearers will love the "eye relief" it is long and makes is comfortable to view, without taking off your glasses.
Look around the web and you will find these binoculars selling for $500 and up. The price must be at or below wholesale. Leica's in the $2000 range are often compared to these German engineered optics. In my own side by side comparison shopping in the 1000 range These were my choice out of the monarch Nikon and Leica's. Buy these or miss out. I have already told everyone in the bird club from my trip to Costa Rica.
