These binoculars are in amazing condition and literally show no signs of use. The optics are amazing with no scratches on the lenses or internal dust. I prefer the older models for their compact size and light weight (17 oz). Made in Germany. Why settle for Vortex when you can have European quality here without needing to mortgage your house for Swarovski? Come check these out and see the difference! I also have several other options for binoculars and spotting scopes if you would like to see them. Thanks for your interest!
