Hello Folks Within a few weeks I hope to buy new glass, either 8x42 or 10x42 rangefinding. As per usual I'm trying to extend a beer budget to champagne tastes, but I'm determined to get into something in the class of the Swaro EL range or Leica Geovids. I think my ideal would be second generation 8x42 Geovids. Despite a fairly extensive web search I can't find any sites offering a selection of used high end bino's - is this because I'm not looking in the right places (if so do you have suggestions) or do they seldom come up ?? Thanks Foster | ||

www.cameralandny.com Check their Demo models - they often have a great selection. Please note: often the demo models have a reduce warranty in lieu of their reduced price. I've purchased quite a few demo scopes and bin's from them. GREAT company to work with. Regards, Robert ****************************** H4350! It stays crunchy in milk longer! | |||

TM I would not go with the range finding model....keep it separate range finding bino s are HEAVEY, plus if you read the fine print the warranty on the electronics is pretty limited go for a lieca 10x42/50 and a lieca range finger with the inbuilt angle correction...they are magic ...I think there the crf 1000R and I think you will be a lot happier...I just got back from NZ and used some ziess 10x45 RF binos they were great, practical but heavey Have a chat with Doug at Camera land his demo models are great...like new , and he s pretty good to deal with him.....I have bought over $10,000 worth of bino s scopes from him and never an issue I just recently bought some lieca 10x50 s HD S they are just magic have also got some 10x32 HDs very light and great little hunting bino Daniel | |||

Leicas preowned warranty is abysmal compared to Swaro, Zeiss, Meopta, Leupold. Unless it is a demo from a reatialer, a preowned Leica has zero warranty. I also like the separate RF/bino idea personally. | |||

eBay would be an option for used optics. | |||
