Well, the label says Flagship-havent a clue who that is!
I bought these 8x22s years ago (Field 7º-122m/1000m) as a second pair for when I'm not out birding and dont want something swinging round my neck but still want some bins with me.


Theyre not great , especially in bright sun, depsite the 'magical red lens coating' and at one time a spider took up residence in the left barrell, but they'll have to do until I get some decent ones!

I suppose you can spare one barrel for the spider though 'Cyclops'. ;-)

yea, it just happened to be the left one too, the one I dont use.
And of course I am a bit of an arachnophile............
