    Nikon 8x30 EII

    Stonesy, I bought an 8x30 EII around the year 2000, about a year or so after it was introduced. It cost me $235.00 then. I used it heavily for years and it looks it! I've used it less over the last 8 years or so, but it is still a real pleasure to use and I would never get rid of it. Its...
