    New Swaro Pockets

    Dang !! Must be Getting Old

    "Bin" a member here for less than six months and have spent the majority of that time testing bins with my wife. I've tried just about every 7x, 8x and 10x from Swarovski, Nikon, Leica and Zeiss with a few from Vortex. It's like trying to find the perfect camera, which I also have not yet done...
