Wow, quitting binoculars is as bad as quitting smoking.
There is an old fashioned and interesting Eschenbach 8x30 Item number: 270060619079 on fleabay that i crave as much as a cigar.
These Eschenbach optics look like Made in Japan optics to me, imported and branded with a German name.
Their spotting scope ("Spektiv") looks like a $600 Leupold Sequoia.
Well, i'll unplug this damn thing and go and shovel some ice. It helps.
So you are quitting buying and just surviving with what..dozen?...you have?
Actually, i've sold almost all. I will keep the EL 8x32 and the Ultravid 10x42. I am still thinking whether i will keep a 7x42 and which one. I still need to sell a SLC 10x42 and an FL 8x42.
