That said, with Brock's warning ringing in my ears, I am willing to take the plunge and have decided to get the 9 x 45 B2 once one or more of the Epochs is sold. My experience with abbe koenig  prism binoculars (Zeiss and Optolyth) has been extremely favorable, and if the Kamakura build quality of the B2 is equal to the Epoch, it promises to be a keeper. Perterra is right that quality binoculars are not intended to be disposable purchases, but the siren song of optical advances in the industry, coupled with financial needs, sometimes makes parting with an otherwise excellent instrument a consideration. Unless Steve's Part 2 dissuades me, however, I am committed to acquiring a B2.</p></blockquote><p></p>
