Free: Contests & Raffles.
if you can find a store with a pair of nikon edg's give them a peek. right now you can get them for sub 1k and get a free d3000 as a rebate, trip it on ebay and you at the price of the gold rings....and the glass is as good as it gets. there is a reason they were list priced at $2200.00
I am saving up for a pair of binos in the same price range. I had kind of settled on the Gold Rings as well, but now I see I have a little more research to do.Good thread, I am taking notes...
