Found HERE, but you will need to wait until May 15th! It has generally good reveiws, is it a buy? If I get them, I will need a very stout tripod, they only weigh 10lbs.

IIRC there was a similar sale back in November at another suppliers site. Not the "best" in chromatic abberation or edge of field distortions, but for my pair sufficiently collaminated for good viewing. From what I've read unfortunately YMMV on these binos.
HTH!

Love my 20x80's performance....just came from outside enjoying the lunar eclipse. Absolutly amazing view w/tripod from Washington DC. Not a cloud in the sky, cold, and clear.

I've used 3 sets of these binos and I received a set for my anniversary. All four were well collaminated. My first set arrived with a crushed case and they were still well collaminated. I couldn't return the case alone so they crossed shipped a complete new set and they were just as good.
There is color error, the edge correction is only fair, and they are sensitive to eye position, but what do you want out of $200 100mm achro binos?
For the price they are very good, and I'm enjoying mine.
BTW: The eyecups are threaded for filters and they work great with a pair of deepsky filters.

They started shipping last week.
The new ones come with a soft case instead of the hard case.
