A buddy of mine interested in that deal. I'm coming over tomorrow to help him install the brake pads and hankook tires on his truck. He recently got into photography so it is essential to have nice equipment.

A demo Meopta Meostar B1 8x32 2014 with light signs of use for just €400 until Sunday... https://www.cameranu.nl/p3143357/meopta-meostar-b1-8x32-verrekijker-demomodel
Wanted it for myself but my eye sockets don't like this eyecup design.

Looks pretty good alright. Seller seems legit (100% rating).
If I had better eyesight I'd buy them

I have spoken with him, he is legit and just sold the SF 8X42 $1799.00, I think for a mint one is a fair price.

If I read you right, I'm with you. My eyes are worse than my best binos now. :-C

An unfortunate part of aging, among so many others.
My acuity and accomodation aren't what they used to be. I see OK and still enjoy high quality binoculars but 7x doesn't help with it's slightly reduced magnification and I doubt I could appreciate the optical improvement over my MHG 8x42s.

Historically I've been a fan of 7x bins however and the EDGs are probably about as good as they get.

That might explain why I like the 8.5x so much. I looked for Neowise tonight without luck (clouds). But I put a spotting scope on Saturn and the rings were super clear!

We all hang in there.

WOW! I can't understand why anyone HERE hasn't bought this! Premium 7X42s are all but nonexistent. I sure don't need it but.....

 

[dries1]

That would be the one to buy, not the other one available on the bay, M...f is a real sleazeball seller.

Who is Msarif? Is Msarif a birdforum member? Lots of binoculars for sale he seems to be taken by the listed EDG ..Based on my personal experience these are better than Swarovski, Leica, Zeiss, and Meopta in the same category.

Seems to have many transactions with 100% feedback ?

Are those the first production or the Nikon II version ?

 

[dries1]

It is the EDG II version, the latest version.

I have talked to other sellers, that is how I got my opinion, I would never buy from him.

The only other binocular reseller on eBay that sells more than Msarif is Lozack-g I’d gamble both of them are frequent visitors of birdforum.
