Zhumell $69.00 20X80 here new
      #1999996 - 11/21/07 09:45 AM

Received my pair of Zhumell yesterday.After reading other post on this forum I decide what did I have to lose at the price of $69.00 dollar and that included shipping. So I order a pair and I must say I am not disappoint these binocular are not small the lens are coated and the fit and finsh are will done. Looking through them in the day time the images were bright and sharp and the collimation was good. Were the images sharp out to the edges...no but the center was very sharp and thats where I do my viewing at. The moon showed lot of details and stars were pinpoint in the center of field ,the views were very nice with these 20X80. For my viewing these are all I need. For me they were a best buy at $69.00. I may have got lucky and got a good pair and this may not be the norm for all these binocular but for the price it hard not to order a pair. In fact thinking of order another pair for my bother for X-Mas. Hope this has be useful to someone.

That's a fantastic price. I have been happy as a clam at high tide with my Celestron 15X70's from Adorama bought for $49. Are they Fujinons? NO ! But they serve my purposes perfectly. I know others have recieved lemons but mine are just fine. Bonco
