$949.00SPECIAL ORDER. This item is special ordered, and we cannot guarantee immediate delivery. Contact us by email or phone 800-779-7256 to get an estimate of delivery time. Usually it is very quick. What is so great about this smaller, 32mm Trinovid? It is just as sharp and clear as the most expensive binoculars you can buy, but it costs half as much. It focuses close. You can look at your own toes. It's marvelous for observing hummingbirds at the feeder, or butterflies and flowers. No other high-quality binoculars will do this so well. Of course, we also appreciate the outstanding color fidelity, image sharpness, compact form and low weight. FREE SHIPPING to US Lower-48 States.
