Been several times now on the stargazing coach tour, which includes a fantastic meal and tour of a vinyard on the way up. Have a great holiday Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djpaul Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Hi The Vixen sg's arrived in the post today They are like brand new ( Boxed all the packaging ) And original receipt from FLO ( Bought new in Sept last year for £229 ) Build quality is fantastic IMHO, and very smooth and easy to focus. They also have rubber eye cups you have to put on which i think is a new addition , and i must say they are very comfortable to use. The FOV is far wider than my 10x50's Cant wait to try them out on a good clear night All in all very hard to find second hand it seems, and well worth the £160 i paid for them Paul Tweedledee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 You don't see that many binoculars for sale second-hand, as most of us won't part with them. Mine have been a few times round the globe, even as far as Kiwiland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
