New to me Leicas - good deal? (1 Viewer)

[Krico]

Hi all. New member here. I just picked up an as new mint (less than a year old, just professionally cleaned, in box ungregistered etc) set of 10x42 Leica Trinovid HD for $550 USD. Have been shopping to add a 10x to complement my Minox HG 8.5x42, and this seemed like a good deal. Just opened them up and the view is fantastic!
How did I do?

You did great, that is a super fine glass for that price.
But first, welcome to BF!

Welcome to Bird Forum, Krico. The retail on those Leica Trinovid HD 10x42 new is at least $900.00 so I would you say you got a killer deal!

Don't worry about it! You've got 'em, the view is great - who cares whether it was a bargain or not, just go out and use 'em!

It looks like you're in a fantastic part of the world for birding - I would love to see a Richardson's merlin!
