Foton 7x35 (1 Viewer)

Hi, I am new to this forum.

I have a question:
I saw a Foton 7x35 on catawiki (http://www.catawiki.nl/l/37634823-foton-7x35), I would like to have it, they told me that they are very good, but what is the right price? I don't want to pay too much either.

Are there any experts here who have more information about the Foton 7x35.

Greetings Darko

Hi Darko and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.

I've moved your post to the Binocular forum and subscribed you to the thread so that you can find it easily. You will receive an email with a link to click on which will bring you straight here.

Meanwhile, I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

There is quite a bit of info on the BF about the Foton 7x35, for example:

Regarding the price, the example offered on catawiki seems to be far from mint; if it was mint then a price around 125$ would be reasonable.

Yep further to PeterPS' post another link given under "Similar threads" at bottom of page.
Was gonna say $100 or so here (which tends to translate to £100 in UK) wouldn't be a bad price for a new one (so maybe half that for a good used one?) :

You might struggle to find a Chinese manufactured optic at that price which has the same combination of ruggedness and compactness and light weight. In hand does feel a bit "crude", the eye relief is short and the view is a bit yellowish by modern standards (quite substantial field curvature too but fortunately it is quite wide). For non spectacle wearers generally seem to be easy and natural to use.

Thanks for the information, I'll see what the auction does.

Darko, post 1 and 5,
On the WEB-site of House of Outdoor I have published a test of 7x35 Leica Retrovids, but in that test I have also included a Foton 7x35. Look under "verrekijkers testen en vergelijken" .
