[QUOTE="Kevin Purcell, post: 1302199, member: 68323"] Eagle Optics has added a group of Vixen bins to their Hot Deals page: 3 porros and 1 roof. Vixen Foresta 8x32 DCF Roof Prism Binocular for $269 shipped Light at 16.4 ounces but rather narrow 6.4 degree FOV, short ER (13mm) [url]http://www.eagleoptics.com/index.asp?pid=5142[/url] Vixen Foresta 8x32 CF Porro Prism Binocular $199 shipped The specs reported for this are wrong (including weight are those of the roof above). I've let Eagle optics know. [url]http://www.eagleoptics.com/index.asp?pid=5141[/url] Vixen Foresta 8x42 CF Porro Prism Binocular $229 shipped Good ER, 7.5 degree FOV. [url]http://www.eagleoptics.com/index.asp?pid=5140[/url] Vixen Foresta 10x42 CF Porro Prism Binocular $229 shipped Good ER, 6 degree FOV. [url]http://www.eagleoptics.com/index.asp?pid=5140[/url] I have a previous generation of these Vixen Foresta 10x42 bins sold as the OEMed Eagle Optics Raptor 10x42. I really like them especially for $90 shipped. You can also get these from Vixen North America (but as an "all sales final" deal and the prices are now rather higher). But I think the 42mm porros are previous generation (different "Swift 820" like enclosure). [url]http://www.vixenamerica.com/Products/Default.asp?TopCatCode=BG&Fam_or_Cat=BG-FR&Short_Verbose=Foresta+Binoculars[/url] I've not compared the smaller models but I suspect the Celestron DX Ultima is the better bang per buck (it's a very good bin) [/QUOTE]
