[Re: starcam]       #2522715 - 07/16/08 03:54 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I have what I guess is the older version, purchased about 3.5 years ago. The bad news, I had to return the first two binos delivered due to absolutely obvious machining and optics issues (clearly nobody checked these before shipping them). The good news is that the third bino delivered is a champ (for that price range). I did have to align them myself but I expected that and it was easy to do. -------------------- Clear skies, -DevonD Bincos: 7x35,10x25,11x56,15x50,15x70,25x100 Scopes: AT66, ST80, 90mm Apex Mak, 100mm Skyview, 8" C8 EPs: Hyps(5,8,21),Pans(22,35),Nagl(3-6),Pentax 10 XW, Orion 3.7 ED-2,Vixen 15 LV, Misc Junk Mounts: CG-5GT, Orion XHD+PGram, Bogen 501 HDV Toys: Power-X-Switch S2, BV3 Binoviewer Money: zilch ---sleep deprivation indicator--- Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 3 registered and 9 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
