That was a great price! I've seen these bins selling for $549, and considering they were made in China, same as the $200 Leupold Cascades porros, which have the same specs and an internal focuser, that price was a BIG rip off! Cashing in on the German name. Shame on you, Minox. OTOH, you have to credit Minox for making a lift-up cap to reach the (right/left?) EP diopter adjustment on the center focus that actually works unlike Nikon's first run EDG.
