The twins have arrived
« on: July 06, 2012, 05:05:50 PM »
I cant believe I waited this long.  The twins arrived today.  Never so happy to see the UPS guy arrive at the house!  Got the Swarovski EL Swarovision 12x50 and Spotter 20x60x65.  Tripod and head should be here in a few days.  Time to hit the woods and put them to use.

Man, I am so jealous. That is one hell of a purchase. My wife would kill me if she ever found out I spent at least 4k on glasses. She'd probably pack my $?@# for me and break the horns off all my mounts!!  :chuckle:

I haven't put an exact number to the cost, but I added on a new carbon fiber Manfrotto tripod, and Gitzo pan head. Pretty sure in total 5k or a tad more.  Still need a cover for the spotter, and a case.  Oh and maybe a window mount head.  I got a good deal and paid about 20% less than it could have cost.  No regrets.
