UK binocular deals, special offers and bargains

The-Wanderer · Thursday 31st March 2016, 16:46

I wanted to check my compatibility with Leica bins because of their apparently short specified eye relief. i contacted Bakers in Lewes, Sussex. They have one bin on sale before no longer being a Leica dealer. They said it was an ultravid 10x42 and, if I recall correctly, it was about £800.

Please call them first to check I have the right information. 01273 476479

Uttings have the Leica 8x42 central dioptre large focus wheel binocular at £599.99.

Good price, the new Trinovid is listed at £769.

A nice cheap 8x32ba trinny for somebody, albeit with some cosmetic damage: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Leica-8x32...AAAOSwXSJXPDLY I have no affiliation with the seller btw.

Several retailers, including Cley Spy, have had the Kowa Genesis 8x33 on sale at just under £500 for several months (and some have sold out). Now Clifton Cameras is selling the Kowa Genesis 10x33 for £549. Other retailers are charging between £800-£900.

Cheaper than the Zeiss Conquest 10x32s they are well worth the money I think.

Uttings have a bank holiday offer that gives buyers an additional £50 (Code LESS50) off the 8x42 Trinovids mentioned above reducing the cost to £549 plus £5.99 postage. The offer ends midnight Tuesday 31st of May.

Harpers Photo in their Used Miscellaneous section have a Leica 10x32 HD (whatever that is).
Also Cash Converters (yes I know) have an Opticron DBA Oasis S-Coat Mg 10x42 going cheap (lovely codition apparently); you'll need to provide your own case and rainguard.

Clifton cameras.

Binoculars and scopes?

Seems a reasonable tripod for an angled scope at a very decent price.

Canon 10x42 L IS £693.97 on Curry's ebay, bargain. Only 5 left at time of posting.

Only one left...

Dorian Gray · Wednesday 25th October 2017, 10:54

I suspect this blow-out means Canon will soon replace this model.

I am afraid that's wishful thinking. It's just one retailer, after all.

dwatsonbirder · Tuesday 7th November 2017, 17:27

Nice deal for somebody, I'm not connected to the seller or in the market, sadly.

The 2017 Canon Japanese catalogue lists the 3 new models only just hitting the dealers but guess which mode actually gets pride of place on the cover...

http://cweb.canon.jp/pdf-catalog/bin...binoculars.pdf

Curry's PC World are the largest electrical retailer in Europe selling everything from toasters to ovens. In October they sold 20 x Canon 10x42L on Ebay, So maybe they are getting a bulk discount from Canon (UK) for ordering in volume and then applying it to something that is actually rather specialized, with a limited market in the grand scheme of things.

Anyway, I've decided to keep the one they sent 2 weeks ago, it performs really well.

Dorian Gray · Tuesday 7th November 2017, 20:46

PDF brochures are easy to update. I might be wrong, but I have noticed Currys often appears to have advance warning of model replacements – possibly because they are so big.

If a new model arrives, it will be far, far more than £700.

Great deal on used Opticron HR80 angled scope with 23x eyepiece at £249.99

Saw a pair of these going for £530 on Gumtree in Downham Market, Norfolk.

Might be of interest for someone.
