I posted this on here before, but if you want a really good binocular at a really low price, get the Vortex Diamonbacks here:  http://www.cameralandny.com/optics/vortex.pl?page=vortexdiamondback8x42

The ones with the "slight color imperfections" are only $129.99.

Ceck out the vortex optics for a good optic for cheap. www.elknut.com  Good deals on his site, PM him and he will answer questions for you. We bought a pair of razors and love them.

 Any who may be interested in Vipers or Diamondbacks in 10x42 give me a holler, we have both Demos & New ones here, I'll treat you fairly!
  Don't have any Demo Razors at this time but do have new ones! But from time to time we do have Demos of those too! Thanks!
