Re: binocular deals? -- Oberwerk 11x56?



hello again Jim,

I don't know anything about those Oberwerks.  I do have a friend that LOVES
his Oberwerks, whatever size-power they are.  I almost got some a year ago
but didn't for some reason or another.

I did a lot of reading up on the net yesterday, and everyone seems to think that the Oberwerks offer a great deal for their price. I ended up ordering the 11x56 Oberwerk last night, they are shipping today ;-)

As for the Nikons, yes they are out of stock on the 10x50, but Adorama does
have the 12x50 for $85.  I have not looked through the 12x50's like I have
the 10x50s but would expect similar performance with smaller field of view.

I was all set on getting the Nikon 10x50s after getting your recommendations and what others also said about them - I esp like their warranty, but since they were out I looked around and found the Oberwerk. I should get them on Monday, they are coming from only about 140 miles away.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, glad to see that s.a.a. is still
as nice a place as it used to be.

Cheers,
Esmail
